ROD RECIPES 2/24/2007 Dinosaur Lovers Day Dinosaur Cake
The word "dinosaur" was invented by Sir Richard Owen in 1842 to describe
"fearfully great reptiles" - and there were only three dinosaurs known at the
time. Scientists have now identified more than 700 species in many shapes and
sizes. They lived from 225 million years ago up until about 65 million years
ago. But, actually they live on today as the birds.
