Description summary:
The title and description vary based on the current 
Proposed Taxon:
| Proposed Taxon: | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Dinosaur | ornithischian | The attachment of the limb suggests a 'bird-hipped' beast. |
| 11 - Saurischien | a theropod | Was it a carnivore? It has a fierceness to it. |
| 12 - Ornithischian | an ornithopod | It looks like it might have been able to rear up on two legs. |
| 111 - Sauropod | a titanosaurus | The largest of the dinosaurs, a beast of almost unbelievable height. |
| 112 - Theropod | a coelurus | A small, agile hunter; the mesozoic's version of a wolf or a fox. |
| 121 - Stegosaurian | a polacanthus | You can infer it from the shape of the limb. |
| 122 - Ornithopod | a hadrosaurus | A spiny, bizarre-looking grazer. |

Description summary:
The description varies based on the new level of Proposed Taxon:
| Proposed Taxon: | Description |
|---|---|
| 12 - Ornithischian | It is, perhaps, a leap to infer the shape of the hips from a limb bone. But palaeontology is a science of careful inferences. |
| 112 - Theropod | This creature must have been a fierce hunter, when it was alive. |
| 122 - Ornithopod | You can see the telltale signs of a versatile grazer, one that could stand on two feet to reach the tender leaves atop the tallest cycads. |
| 1112 - Titanosaurus | Titanosaurus is the largest, heaviest beast ever discovered as a fossil – that walked on land, at least. Its legs must have been like the trunks of ancient oak trees. |
| 1122 - Coelurus | One of the smaller dinosaurs, but surely one of the most terrifying ones – like a rabid wolf crossed with an ornery monitor lizard. |
| 1212 - Polacanthus | Polacanthus is a strange creature; a bundle of heavy horns and spikes stacked atop a squat quadrupedal body. |
| 1222 - Hadrosaurus | Hadrosaurus had a spectacular crest; alas, your own specimen did not come complete with one. |
