Paleontologists are the scientific detectives who examine our world for extinct dinosaurs.

They look for clues such as bones, teeth, shells, or footprints to piece together the era of dinosaurs. 

Sir Richard Owen coined the term dinosaur to describe the beings who lived unchallenged on planet Earth for roughly 245 million years.  

Dinosaur comes from the Greek word Deinos, meaning fearfully great, and Saurus, which means lizard.

Ancient cultures found fossils; they would confuse the remains of dinosaurs for giants or huge monsters. 

Every continent has dinosaur fossils buried below the soil, with over 700 species of dinosaurs known to have roamed the earth. 

Those numbers are just the fossil bones we have discovered.

There may be many more undiscovered species buried within our planet.
