Who named dinosaurs?

Curious are all good children! I hope my answer can help you, and I hope you will keep such curiosity! First of all, why are dinosaurs called dinosaurs? The English scientific name of dinosaur is Dinosauria, which was formally put forward by British paleontologist richard owen in 1842. The word dinosaur originated from ancient Greek and consists of two words, namely Δ ε ι ν? /deinos means "terrible" or "extremely huge", σ α? ▽α/sauros means "lizard". Owen named them "terrible lizards" because of their teeth, claws, huge bodies and other impressive and terrible features. The Chinese word "dinosaur" originated from the Japanese translation of "dinosaur (fear)" and was later widely used in Chinese-speaking areas. The reason may be that this large reptile looks like the legendary dragon in western countries (the kind that can breathe fire = =)! So I asked dinosaurs not to be "afraid of lizards"! Let's start with the names of all kinds of dinosaurs. Who named them? It is usually named by the scientist who first discovered this dinosaur fossil! In other words, whoever discovers that he loves to be called a dragon first is a dragon, just like comets and stars in the universe! Some are named after the appearance of fossils, such as triceratops, pterosaurs and Tyrannosaurus Rex. Some are named after fossil discoverers, such as Albertosaurus and Edmontosaurus. Some are named after the place where fossils were found, such as Argentinean dragon, Egyptian dragon, Chinese bird dragon Mamenxi dragon and Yongchuan dragon. The surviving descendants of dinosaurs include crocodiles, birds and monitor lizards. Of course, through continuous evolution, their shapes have also changed a lot! Since the dinosaur era, the little changed animal is cockroach, which even appeared on the earth earlier than dinosaurs, so it is called "invincible cockroach" = =! I hope these can help you! If one day you can find a new dinosaur species, you can name it! O(∩_∩)O
