I call him The Mountain. Not because he is big, although he is tall, but in Gaelic Ben, I think, means mountain. Ben not only likes dinosaurs, but has been a near expert from before he could read. I love the story when in second grade or so he had to do show and tell. When Ben finished his talk the teacher complimented him on his talk but gently reminded him that that days’ letter had been “C” not “D” for dinosaurs. A very exasperated junior paleontologist held is hands up in frustration and said “Cretaceous” as that was there period the dinos he had been talking about lived.
So enjoy BB

1st picture Gallimimus
2nd was Tuojiongosaurus
3rd and 4th look like Allosaurus because they gave 3 fingers.
Ben says the 5th picture down, the set of arms is a Dienochirus.
6th picture obviously Triceratops (though maybe Torosaurus)
7th a pliosaur of some type.
8th obviously a pterosaur of some type. Probably Pteranodon.
9th stegosaurus
10th Ichthyosaur
11th, not sure. Some reptile or possibly a mammal.
11th
One of the allosauruses was an Albertsaurus. #11 a Mammal.
I’d still give an A. Nice job, bro.
