Dinosaur tropes

Hint

Answer

Despite being first discovered in the Morrison formation, far far away from little archaeopteryx, this little guy was always drawn snatching an early bird out of the sky.

You almost always saw this Jurassic monster eating a dead saurapod with its tail stretched out behind it.

This was once the most famous dinosaur, and then not a real dinosuar at all. And, it was alway standing in a Jurassic lake that dropped off at the bank to be about 3 meters deep. No lakes in the Jurassic ever gradually got deeper from the banks.

Another sauropod, this one though was always pictured snorkling in what looked like prehistoric rock quarries.

You probably don't know this one as being anything other than food for deinonychus. It is a close relative of iguanodon, but never got its own page. Even its museum restorations have little skeleton deinonychus' hanging off of it. Poor thing.

While this ceratopsian probably did plenty of other things, you never saw it doing anything but laying eggs or sitting around the nests and guarding the eggs. Sometimes, you might see it climbing out of the eggs.

We almost always saw T rex winning, unless he was dumb enough to go after this little guy, which he ALWAYS was. And this little tank dinosaur ALWAYS clubbed Rexy right in the face. Stupid Rexy.

Despite having hoofed back feet that looked better suited for dry land, this dinosuar was always swimming.

While not a dinosaur, this komodo dragon relative usually found its way into our dinosaur books, and usually was busy snatching the other not-really-a-dinosaur pteranodon out of the sky.

Answer

T-Rex just would not leave this guy alone. He was always seen facing off against the famous theropod.

This iguanodon relative was always seen climbing trees.

This poster child for the dinosaur renaissance was always attaking foot first. And, for some reason, it was often drawn like it was smiling while doing so.

To show that dinosaur tropes are still happening, this newly discovered dinosaur from China is always seen sleeping. Awe.

This dinosaur, once its thumb was actually on its hand where it belonged, was always drawn looking like it was hitchhiking.

This sparkleraptor was always shown with its brightly colored feathery wings stretched out as it perched on a dead tree, with its little fingers sticking straight out.

This dinosaur was usually saved for the last pages of the book, because it was the best. And, it always stood with its mouth open and ready to roar.

This Mongolian dinosaur was usually seen trying to steal another dinosaur's eggs. It was later discovered that the eggs it had originally been discovered with had been its own. So unfair.
