Top Ten Most Amazing Dinosaurs 

Dinosaurs are believed to have lived about 245 million years ago during the so-called Mesozoic Era and lasted for 180 million years. This period is also called the Age of Reptiles. The era is divided into 3 periods (from 245 to 65 million years ago): Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. Here are the ten most amazing species of dinosaurs.

Undoubtedly, this is the "most famous" of all the dinosaurs, the "star" of the show. As a matter of fact, a gigantic sculpture of this creature was built in the town of Drumheller in Alberta, Canada and is considered as the "world's largest dinosaur" with a height of 82 ft and a length of 151 ft. See image and details here.

It was one of the largest land carnivores of all time which measured 12.8 meters (42 ft) long, and was 4.0 meters (13 ft) tall at the hips and may have weighed from more than 7.2 metric tons to less than 4.5 metric tons.
