Supersaurus
The Supersaurus meaning ’super lizard’ was discovered in Colorado in the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation in 1972, and was officially named by Jim Jensen the Supersaurus vivianae in 1985. A member of the Diplodocid family these sauropods were huge.


Giganotosaurus
The Giganotosaurus existed during the Turonian stage of the late cretaceous period about 90 million years ago. It was first discovered in 1995 in the Argentinean region of Patagonia at the Rio Limay Formation by Ruben Carolini



Tyrannosaurus Rex
The Tyrannosaurus or T. Rex existed in the late cretaceous period some 65 million years ago. A carnivorous dinosaur and an extremely popular icon in todays movie culture this dinosaur is probably one of the most talked and read about dinosaurs ever to have existed


Eoraptor
The Eoraptor existed during the early Triassic period some 228 million years ago and is considered to be one of the predecessors of all latter day dinosaurs. Discovered in the Ischigualasto formation of Argentina in 1991, its near complete skeleton was an eye opener for scientists.


Corythosaurus
The Corythosaurus was a crested duck-billed dinosaur which existed during the late cretaceous period around 80 million years ago. The name Corythosaurus means “Helmet Lizard” which stems from the Greek words ‘korythos’ meaning helmet and ’saurus’ meaning lizard.



Coelophysis
The Coelophysis was a small carnivorous dinosaur whose existance dates back to the Triassic period over 228 million years ago. It owes its name to the Greek root word “Koilos” which refers to something hollow while “Physis” simply refers to a form or structure.

Ankylosaurus
The Ankylosaurus was a heavily plated, four legged herbivore which originally emerged in the Jurassic period but spread rapidly during the Cretaceous, by which time it was flourishing in the northern continents and even as far south as Australia and Antarctica.



Allosaurus
The Allosaurus a member of the Allosaurid family was first discovered during the closing years of the 19th century by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1877. It existed in the late Jurassic period and almost all of it’s fossils have been in the Morrison Formation of North America.

Ya except Supersaurus i think and to add onto your Allosaurus fact:

Allosaurus hunted in packs or was a lone hunter. a multiple Allosaurus group hunting tactic would to have one hide behind an object and have the others chase it and when the herbivore,etc. is chased to the other Allosaurus it is attcked and killed. Also, Allosaurus had a weird crest above it's eyes.
