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”] From: dinosaur-l-request@usc.edu <dinosaur-l-request@usc.edu> On Behalf Of Brad McFeeters What's the most known/popular "new" dinosaur? Let's say published in 2000 or later. Maybe Microraptor? Brad Sent from Outlook From: dinosaur-l-request@usc.edu <dinosaur-l-request@usc.edu> on behalf of Poekilopleuron <dinosaurtom2015@seznam.cz> 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!
