RE: [dinosaur] The most popular dinosaurs



Here is my break down for 2000 – current, your list may vary, but I’m sure you will agree.

As for which is the most currently popular…hmmm…Tyrannosaurus is still the most popular, then Velociraptor [the Jurassic Park version], then Spinosaurus.  As for the most current popular dinosaur, my vote is on Microraptor also.

 

2000       Microraptor zhaoianus

2001       Masiakasaurus knopfleri

2002       Rutellum impicatum  < ha ha!

2003       Silesaurus opolensis   [not a dinosaur as first thought]

2004       Mei long

2005       Appalachiosaurus montgomeriensis

2006       Dracorex hogwartsia

2007       Pantydraco caducus   < again ha ha!

2008       Anchiornis huxleyi

2009       Aardonyx celestae

2010       Seitaad ruessi  [although this was the year 15 new ceratopsian genera were named]

2011       Talos sampsoni

2012       Yutyrannus huali  [or]  Pegomastax africana [ugliest of the dinosaurs]

2013       Siats meekerorum

2014       Anzu wyliei  [aka “chicken from hell”] [or] Qianzhousaurus sinensis  [aka "Pinocchio rex"]

2015       Dakotaraptor steini  [or]  Yi qi  [shortest dinosaur named]

2016       Fukuivenator paradoxus

2017       Borealopelta markmitchelli

2018       Dynamoterror dynastes   how cool is that?

2019       Hesperornithoides miessleri  [aka “Lori”]

What's the most known/popular "new" dinosaur? Let's say published in 2000 or later. Maybe Microraptor?

Good day, I would like to ask, which non-avian dinosaur genera are probably the most known/popular in your opinion? My humble guess is: 

1) Tyrannosaurus; 2) Iguanodon; 3) Brontosaurus (if you consider it valid genus); 4) Triceratops; 5) Stegosaurus...others would include Diplodocus, Allosaurus, Velociraptor, Brachiosaurus, Deinonychus etc. Thank you! Tom
