What Is A Dinosaur? Just because something is a fossil DOES
NOT mean it’s a dinosaur!!! Just because an organism is extinct
DOES NOT mean it’s a dinosaur!!! Just because an organism’s name ends
in “-saurus” DOES NOT mean it’s a
dinosaur!!! Just because an organism lived during a
particular period of time DOES NOT mean it’s a dinosaur!!!
Just because an organism appears in a book/pack of toys called “Dinosaurs” DOES NOT mean it’s a dinosaur!!!
