How dinosaur names work

Real dinosaur names are Greek and Latin compounds — a descriptive root plus a creature suffix (Tyranno + saurus = 'tyrant lizard'; Velociraptor = 'swift thief'). To invent believable ones, fuse a bold prefix (Mega-, Spino-, Cryo-, Pyro-) with a classic ending (-saurus, -raptor, -ceratops, -don). The result sounds straight out of a museum placard or a creature-feature game.
