Jurassic dinosaurs

345 genera whose first appearance in the Paleobiology Database falls in the Jurassic period (201.4 to 145 million years ago).

Genera are assigned to a period from their PBDB first-appearance age. Genera with no recorded age, or an age outside the Mesozoic, are listed only on the A-Z index.

Jurassic genera by diet

316 of the 345 Jurassic genera on this page (91.6%) have a diet value recorded in their own PBDB record: 97 carnivore, 215 herbivore, 4 piscivore. 29 carry no recorded diet value and so appear on no diet page.

Counts are taken from the diet value recorded on each genus page. The diet pages list the genera behind these counts.
