About this dinosaur vocabulary crossword
Three Across answers connect five Down answers about dinosaur groups, three geological periods, diet and preserved evidence. The answers are selected concepts rather than eight dinosaur species. One clue asks for plural body-covering structures; another uses the geographic origin of a period name. Birds are living dinosaurs, and the end-Cretaceous extinction concerns non-avian dinosaurs. No pictures are required, and some letters are unchecked.
