Trivia:

In 1824, English geologist William Buckland announced the discovery, based on fossil remains, of a new animal. This animal was the Megalosaurus. A few years later, in 1841, paleontologist Richard Owen saw that Megalosaurus, and other large reptiles that had recently been discovered were all related. He gave the group a name: ‘Dinosauria’, meaning ‘terrible lizards’. Source: Active Wild – When were Dinosaurs Discovered
