History of the discovery of dinosaurs 11/6/2013 10:31:00 pm. Paleontology: is the study of ancient life. It was a thigh bone of a carnivorous animal in london, and the people who found it thought it was the fossilized scrotum of a biblical giant, but it was not. Sctrotum humanum highly likely that it was from a megalosaurus. About 100 years laster, in holland a mesasaurus fossil was found. Later, gideon and mary ann mantell found fossilized teeth from a reptile called iguanodon. As time passed, more and more began to be found. People began to realize there were animals that were no longer around. Richard owen recognized that there was a group of large new animals, and named them in a class: dinosauria meaning terrible lizard . Dinosauria must have these characteristics: more than 5 vertebrae fused to the pelvis, terrestrial, endotherms, had erect posture. Dunosaurs were very popular during the victorian era.
