Triassic and Early Jurassic ones! :ohmy:

Megalosaurus
Plateosaurus, Massospondylus (awesome name), who were possibly semi-two-legged, long-necked herbivores
Herrerasaurus
Staurikosaurus
Coelurus, Compsognathus, and other tiny ones

Allosaurus as the "large carnivore" alternative to the popular T. Rex.

Egg-eaters like Oviraptor, Troodon (raptor that eats eggs, I think)

Baryonyx, the fish eater

Spinosaurus! It was sooo...ugly, that [insert your joke]...

Larger than a T-rex, this fin-backed dinosaur purportedly ate fish close to water and whatever it felt like, on land:

Diplodocus. We have a hugeee one in our museum in Houston (where I work). I have therefore spent countless hours staring at it while sitting and taking tickets like a zombie. :bored:

I like many different types of dinosaurs, each in their own way; but I've always loved Triceratops... it's been my favorite since I was very young. I'm not sure why, exactly, since other dinosaurs seem more glamorous in their own ways, more deadly, more gigantic, etc. Maybe because it's not out to terrorize the other dinosaurs, it just wants to do its thing, but it can defend itself if necessary even against the largest of its aggressors. There's also a kind of curved grace to its features.

Megaladon scares the shit out of me, though. Yes, he's chasing WHALES here.... on the grid, he's about three times longer than a typical great white.

So does that spinosaurus, [MENTION=10808]Jenaphor[/MENTION]: It's kind of like seeing a twisted deformed stretched-out version of the heavier carnivores, so it looks even more inhuman. it's a crocodile head on legs.

Call me cliche, but I just think don't think you can beat the T-Rex.

I like quite a few... Diplodocus, although i think they changed it's name to Apatosaurus
Pachycephalosaurus and Maiasaura are all loverly Dino's. Not so much based on looks but on personality... or at least how i imagine them to be.
:D

pterodactyl, for sure.

They fly through my yard when they think I'm not looking. Sillies!

Before T-Rex was king of the cretaceous, Allosaurus was the feared ruler of the Jurassic.

So I'll narrow it down to these.

Plateosaur-types. Hind-legged action by herbivores:

Small, nimble carnivores, such as Coelurus (related to Compy) :

Special nod to the smartest known dinosaur, Troodon:

Scientists say that the proportion of its brain weight to total body weight was 6 times heavier than other dinosaurs.
