Geocache Description:

Supersaurus:
The Supersaurus meaning ’super lizard’ was discovered in Colorado
in the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation in 1972, and was officially
named by Jim Jensen the Supersaurus vivianae in 1985. A member of
the Diplodocid family these sauropods were huge.

Giganotosaurus:
The Giganotosaurus existed during the Turonian stage of
the late cretaceous period about 90 million years ago. It
was in 1995 in the Argentinean region of
Patagonia at the Rio Limay Formation by Ruben Carolini.

Tyrannosaurus Rex:
The Tyrannosaurus or T. Rex existed in the late cretaceous
period some 65 million years ago. A carnivorous dinosaur
and an extremely popular icon in todays movie culture this
dinosaur is probably one of the most talked and read about
dinosaurs ever to have existed.

Eoraptor:
The Eoraptor existed during the early Triassic period some
228 million years ago and is considered to be one of the
predecessors of all latter day dinosaurs. Discovered in the
Ischigualasto formation of Argentina in 1991, its near complete
skeleton was an eye opener for scientists.

Corythosaurus:
The Corythosaurus was a crested duck-billed dinosaur which
existed during the late cretaceous period around 80 million
years ago. The name Corythosaurus means “Helmet Lizard”
which stems from the Greek words ‘korythos’ meaning helmet
and ’saurus’ meaning lizard.

Coelophysis:
The Coelophysis was a small carnivorous dinosaur whose
existance dates back to the Triassic period over 228 million
years ago. It owes its name to the Greek root word “Koilos”
which refers to something hollow while “Physis” simply refers
to a form or structure.

Ankylosaurus:
The Ankylosaurus was a heavily plated, four legged herbivore
which originally emerged in the Jurassic period but spread rapidly
during the Cretaceous, by which time it was flourishing in the
northern continents and even as far south as Australia and
Antarctica.

Allosaurus:
The Allosaurus a member of the Allosaurid family was first
discovered during the closing years of the 19th century by
Othniel Charles Marsh in 1877. It existed in the late Jurassic
period and almost all of it’s fossils have been in the Morrison
Formation of North America.

Stegosaurus:
The Stegosaurus was considered to be the largest of the
stegasaurid family and existed throughout the late Jurassic
period. It’s name is derived from the Greek word ‘stegos’
meaning roof and ‘saurus’ meaning lizard, making it the
‘Roof Lizard’.

Cretaceous Period:
The Cretaceous Period was the last phase of the Mesozoic
era and spanned for an interval of 75 million years from
135-65 million years ago. Although the dinosaurs died
out in this period many interesting dinosaurs like the T-Rex
and the Triceratops appeared during this time.

Jurassic Period:
The Jurassic Period was the second phase of the Mesozoic
era and quite possibly the most interesting. It spanned a
total time period of around 65 million years and started
around 205 million years ago right up to about 135 million
years ago.

Triassic Period:
The Triassic Period was the first phase of the Mesozoic
era and spanned for an interval of 35 million years from
250-205 million years ago. Planet Earth was a very different
place back then with the most common difference being
the existance of no continents, just huge land mass.

It's hard to believe how many people pull over to get a picture
of this big fellow. So don't forget to get your picture with him.

As a side note: During the summer months between 7-10am
may not be a good time to look for this one as this road
can be used to enter Kings Island park and it can be busy.
