Achelousaurus - is a genus of centrosaurine ceratopsid dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period. The generic name means “Achelous lizard”, in reference to the Greek deity Achelous. It walked on all fours, had a short tail and a large head with a hooked beak. It had a bony neck-frill at the rear of the skull, which sported a pair of long spikes, which curved towards the outside. Estimated size 6 m (20 ft) long with a weight of 3 tons. (Wikipedia)
Alamosaurus – A genus of sauropod dinosaurs containing just one species that lived in the late Cretaceous period. (See Cretaceous.) Specimens suggest they could measure up to 30 meters (98 feet) in length and weigh as much as 79 metric tons (88 tons). For comparison, the largest living land animal in the present day is the African elephant, which can weigh up to 6.3 metric tons (7 tons). (Wikipedia.)
Albertosaurus – A genus of tyrannosaurid dinosaurs that lived in the late Cretaceous period. (See Cretaceous.) Specimens suggest they could measure up to 10 meters (33 feet) in length and weigh as much as 2.5 metric tons (2.8 tons). (Wikipedia.)
Ankylosaurus – A genus of armored dinosaurs that lived at the very end of the Cretaceous period. (See Cretaceous.) Specimens suggest they could measure up to 10.6 meters (35 feet) in length and weigh as much as 5.9 metric tons (6.5 tons). (Wikipedia.)
Ballistae – Plural form of the ballista, an ancient weapon that hurled large stones, javelins, or bolts. The weapon dates back to the 4th century BC in Greece. (Wikipedia.)
Bambiraptor – A carnivorous dinosaur that lived in the late Cretaceous period. (See Cretaceous.) The estimated size for an adult would measure 1.3 meters (4.3 feet) in length and weigh 5 kilograms (11 pounds). (Wikipedia.)
Brachylophosaurus – A genus of hadrosaur dinosaurs that lived in the late Cretaceous period. (See Cretaceous.) Estimates suggest that an adult could measure at least 9 to 11 meters (29 to 36 feet) in length and weigh as much as 7 metric tons (7.7 tons). (Wikipedia.)
Clidastes – A genus of large carnivorous marine lizards called mosasaurs. An average size specimen could measure 2 to 4 meters (6.5 to 13 feet). A large one could be 6 meters (19.6 feet). It existed in the late Cretaceous period. (See Cretaceous.) (Wikipedia.)
Cretaceous – The Cretaceous period is defined as beginning 145 million years ago (mya) and lasting until approximately 66 mya. (Wikipedia.)
Dryptosaurus - Pronunciation: drip-toe-SORE-us, Name meaning: ‘tearing lizard’ Dryptosaurus is a genus of tyrannosauroid that lived approximately 67 million years ago during the latter part of the Cretaceous period in what is now New Jersey. Dryptosaurus was a large, bipedal, ground-dwelling carnivore that could grow up to 7.5 m long. Estimated Mass: 1 500 kg (See Cretaceous) (Wikipedia)
Gorgosaurus - GOR-gə-SOR-əs; meaning “dreadful lizard”) is a genus of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived in western North America during the Late Cretaceous Period (Campanian), between about 76.6 and 75.1 million years ago. (See Cretaceous) Like most known tyrannosaurids, Gorgosaurus was a bipedal predator weighing more than two metric tons as an adult; dozens of large, sharp teeth lined its jaws, while its two-fingered forelimbs were comparatively small. (See Cretaceous) (Wikipedia)
Kalama city - Kalama is a city in Cowlitz County, Washington, United States. It is part of the Longview, Washington Metropolitan Statistical Area. General J.W. Sprague of the Northern Pacific Railroad named the town in 1871 for the Indian word calama, meaning pretty maiden. It’s situated on the mouth of the Kalama river which flows into the Columbia. (Wikipedia)
Lambeosaurus – A genus of hadrosaurid herbivore dinosaurs that lived in the late Cretaceous period. (See Cretaceous) These dinosaurs had duckbills and could feed on trees as high as 4 meters (13 feet). (Wikipedia.)
mya – an acronym for “million years ago,” also “m.y.a,” used in astronomy, geology, and paleontology. (Wikipedia)
Nyctosaurus – A genus of nyctosaurid pterodactyloid pterosaur that lived in the late Cretaceous period. An adult could have a wingspan of 2 meters (6.5 feet). Compared to terrestrial dinosaurs, Nyctosaurus were small-bodied and weighed less than 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds). (See Cretaceous.) (Wikipedia.)
Prime City - A settlement of survivors that formed around the former Prime hotel, owned and run by the self-proclaimed Senator Douglas. He used the Watch to patrol the walls and keep the people in line.
Parasaurolophus - Pronounced pa-ra-saw-ROL-off-us. A genus of ornithopod dinosaur from the Upper Cretaceous of what is now North America, about 76.5–73 million years ago. Its name means “near crested lizard.” (See Cretaceous) Length: 11.0m Weight: 3500kg (Wikipedia)
