Dinosaur skeletons

Dinosaurs can be put into two groups just by looking at their hip bones. Class 4 learnt that some dinosaurs had lizard hipped pelvises whereas others had bird hipped. That means that birds have evolved from dinosaurs and that some can be traced back to  when dinosaurs ruled the world!
I wonder if class 4 can remember the names of any dinosaurs and tell the world whether they were bird hipped or lizard hipped? Have you come across any new ones since our lesson that you can add to the blog? We can then add a link to our dinosaur classification books and make them interactive!

      I think your next question might be what is a Cretaceous.
