CERATOSAURUS nasicornis
This powerful predator was the largest of the ceratosaurs. It was a theropod, whose intelligence was high among the dinosaurs. Its name, meaning "horned lizard", is derived from the long horn on its snout. was a carnivore, that could kill even large sauropods; it probably hunted in groups. Grappling with its teeth and claws, it could have tackled them, and it probably also killed and ate young or sick sauropods; it may also have been a scavenger. But its hand had four well-developed fingers. It lived on the fern savannas and wooded flood plains of western North America. Ceratosaurus walked on two muscular legs. It had a pair of bony ridges above its eyes and a horn on its snout. These were probably used by males when fighting for a mate. It had a short neck with a very strong spinal column, a massive tail, a bulky body and heavy bones. Its short arms had four-fingered hands with sharp claws. It had small, bony plates, which seem to have run down the middle of the back.
It was an active predator and had massive jaws with long, sharp teeth. It probably had very good eyesight because of its large eyes. Male Ceratosaurs were larger and stronger than the females.Note: Watermarks and Copyright markings do not appear on the final photo quality prints.

STEGOSAURUS armatus
Stegosaurus was an ornithischian dinosaur, belonging to the groups Thyreophora and Stegosauridae. It was the largest stegosaur and one of the last of them. This well known dinosaur was a plant eater, it probably ate plants no taller than about three feet (1 m), mostly ferns, cycads and conifers. It is still debated, whether it actually could reared up on its hind limbs to get higher vegetation. Stegosaurus lived in vast flooded areas and forests, climate was warm and moist. Stegosaurus, the name of which means "armored roofed lizard", was a large, heavy limbed, long tailed and short legged dinosaur. It walked on all four legs, but it could not coordinate the movements of such a long body. Its rear legs were twice as long as its front legs. Hind limbs had three toes, fore limbs had five toes, all hooved. Its head was extremely small in relation to its long body. It had a toothless beak and small cheek teeth. Two rows of triangular shaped plates ran the course of its back, leading to its long tail, which displayed four long spikes. Its largest plates were over two feet (60 cm) high and wide (the largest plate was 2,5 feet/76 cm high and 79 cm long). Recent excavations indicate, that the plates were in two alternating rows. The plates are now thought by many to help control body temperature, but they could also have been used for display. The tail spikes were hold horizontally, they were probably weapons of defense. The other weapon of Stegosaurus probably was armor-like scutes (small osicles) on the skin of the throat and the hips.
