7. WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE DINOSAURS?
Velociraptor Oviraptor PinacosaurusProtoceratops

8. VELOCIRAPTOR
• Carnivore
• Lived in Cretaceous period
• It had feathers, large “hands” with
three claws and a large claw on
each foot.
• It was a fierce predator.
Palaeontologists found the fossils of
a velociraptor attacking a
protoceratops. Scientists call him
“fast carnivore”.

9. OVIRAPTOR
• Omnivore
• Lived in Cretaceous period
• It was very much like a bird and
had a crest on its head.
• During long time Oviraptor was
considered to steal and eat eggs of
other dinosaurs, but later the
scientists found out that they only
cared for the eggs!

10. PROTOCERATOPS
• Herbivore
• Its name means “First Horned Face”
• Lived in Cretaceous period
• It had four short paws with 5 fingers
and a neck frill with two holes and two
large bones on the cheeks
• It lived in herds and fought against
predators such as Velociraptor.

11. PINACOSAURUS
• Herbivore
• Lived in Cretaceous period
• It had an armour with spines on its
back and a large club on the end of
the tail.
• It used his club to protect against
predators

12. CONCLUSION
• Several dinosaur fossils were found in Flaming
Cliffs.
• Some of them were carnivore, some were
omnivore, and some were herbivore. All these
dinosaurs had different behaviour.
• All these dinosaurs lived in Cretaceous period.
