    This isn’t actually true though. Most dinosaurs have been named in the last 100 years. In fact 85% of them have been named since Jurassic Park came out.

      Correct. We are currently in a golden age for unearthing new dinosaurs. Pretty much every week there’s something new that we have found.

        Is it actually finding new stuff, though? Or just refining classification methods to better identify what we already had lying around?
