In reply to KaeLyn.

I had a very confusing but lovely dyslexia moment of reading “pay grade” as “gay grade” :P

Um yes dinopedic knowledge…and might I say that calling a triceratops a Three Horn makes perfect sense visually and it is total call out to the scientific name.
“Tri” is three, “cera” is horn more or less, and the last bit “ops” is just face.

And calling the carnivorous dinos Sharptooths, well that is how one identifies a carnivore versus a herbivore or omnivore in I think the whole of the animal kingdom by the teeth. How many sharp ponty teeth for ripping an’ rending meat, or how many flat wide teeth for serious chewing of fibrous stuff like veggies and grains makes the case for what an organism eats.

Kaelyn I think just gave support here that The Land Before Time might have some legit scientific merit depending on the observation skills and conclusion making power of your little Dino Sprout to be.

But uh Long Necks are sauropods, a sub order of saurischia, and means lizard footed. Odd long story having to do with the infancy of paleontology and hips.
Would have made more sense to call them long necks in my humble amateur o-pinion, but alas that was not how the paleontology cake was mixed before it started to bake and ya can’t unbake a cake. Only decorate it.
