approximately 66 million years ago. Dinosaurs can therefore be divided into avian dinosaurs, or birds; and the extinct non-avian dinosaurs, which are all dinosaurs other than birds. Due to birds being dinosaurs, and dinosaurs being reptiles, this makes bird reptiles, albeit highly evolved and specialized reptiles
Big John, as the dinosaur has been named, has a skull and bony collar measuring 2.62 metres long, 2 metres wide and weighing more than 700kg, two large horns measuring more than a metre, and 200 other assorted bones that have been painstakingly pieced together.
He lived in Laramidia, an island continent that stretched from what is now Alaska to Mexico, and died in an ancient flood plain now known as the Hell Creek geological formation in South Dakota. As the plain is composed of sediment with no biological activity, Big John was mostly fossilised and preserved
