Dinosaurs 101

Dinosaur Extremes

Among the dinosaurs with the most teeth is maiasaurus

Maiasaura was a duck-billed dinosaur with a flat skull and small crests in front of the eyes. This plant-eater had a toothless beak, cheek pouches, and many self-sharpening cheek teeth; hard enamel was found on both the outer surface of the upper teeth and the inner surface of the lower teeth.
 Among the longest necks... 
the Diplodocus!
Diplodocus held its neck more-or-less parallel to the ground. The long neck may have been used to poke into forests to get foliage that was otherwise unavailable to the huge, lumbering varieties of sauropods. 

Thickest Skulled Dinosaur
 Pachycephalosaurus was a dome-headed dinosaur. Its huge head housed an incredibly thick skull, a tiny brain, and large eyes. Its rounded skull was up to 10 inches thick!
