Difference between Dinosaur classification and Diplodocus

Dinosaur classification vs. Diplodocus

Dinosaur classification began in 1842 when Sir Richard Owen placed Iguanodon, Megalosaurus, and Hylaeosaurus in "a distinct tribe or suborder of Saurian Reptiles, for which I would propose the name of Dinosauria." In 1887 and 1888 Harry Seeley divided dinosaurs into the two orders Saurischia and Ornithischia, based on their hip structure. Diplodocus is an extinct genus of diplodocid sauropod dinosaurs whose fossils were first discovered in 1877 by S. W. Williston.

Similarities between Dinosaur classification and Diplodocus

Dinosaur classification and Diplodocus have 22 things in common (in Unionpedia): Allosaurus, Brachiosauridae, Brachiosaurus, Camarasauridae, Camarasaurus, Camptosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Dicraeosauridae, Dinosaur, Diplodocid, Fossil, Macronaria, Nemegtosauridae, Ornithischia, Ornitholestes, Paleontology, Rebbachisauridae, Saltasaurus, Sauropoda, Shunosaurus, Stegosaurus, Titanosaur.

Allosaurus

Allosaurus is a genus of carnivorous theropod dinosaur that lived 155 to 150 million years ago during the late Jurassic period (Kimmeridgian to early TithonianTurner, C.E. and Peterson, F., (1999). "Biostratigraphy of dinosaurs in the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of the Western Interior, U.S.A." Pp. 77–114 in Gillette, D.D. (ed.), Vertebrate Paleontology in Utah. Utah Geological Survey Miscellaneous Publication 99-1.). The name "Allosaurus" means "different lizard" alluding to its unique concave vertebrae (at the time of its discovery).
