About DinoPages

DinoPages is a reference to non-avian dinosaur genera. Every page is generated from one public dataset and shows only what that dataset records.

Data source

Data: The Paleobiology Database (CC BY 4.0). The genus list was retrieved from the PBDB taxa API for the clade Dinosauria, restricted to valid genera. Egg (oo) and trace (ichno) form-taxa flagged by PBDB were removed, and the modern and Mesozoic bird class Aves was excluded so the site covers non-avian dinosaurs. This leaves 1765 genera.

What each genus page shows

Accepted name, the author and year who described it, its class, order and family placement, its first appearance and stage interval, its age range in millions of years, its ecospace diet and environment where PBDB records them, and its count of fossil occurrences. Each page links to the matching PBDB record as its citation.

What we do not do

We do not add sizes, weights, colours, speeds, behaviour, or trivia. If the database does not hold a value, the page does not show it.
