  Welcome to Planet Dinosaur!
According to a press release and the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, Dr. Nick Fraser, director of research and collections and curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Martinsville museum, found two fossils of the reptile in a 220-million-year-old sediment layer in the Solite Quarry in Saltville, straddling the Virginia-North Carolina line.
The peculiar pose of many fossilized dinosaurs, with wide-open mouth, head thrown back and recurved tail, likely resulted from the agonized death throes typical of brain damage and asphyxiation, according to two paleontologists.
The fossils of feathered dinosaurs whose discoveries helped firm hypotheses on the origin of birds will be exhibited publicly in the U.S. for the first time this weekend.

  Star Fox Adventures - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She discovers that the planet had been attacked by General Scales and his SharpClaw army, and decides to help by collecting all of the Krazoa Spirits and returning them to the palace, which would supposedly tilt the war in the dinosaurs' favor and stop Scales.
Meanwhile, Fox McCloud, Slippy Toad, and Peppy Hare receive a mission from General Pepper to go to Dinosaur Planet and attempt to reattach pieces of the planet that had broken off; this is in their favor, as the Great Fox (Star Fox's mothership) and their Arwings are in dire need of repair.
During the events of Star Fox Assault, the various dinosaur tribes are decimated by the Aparoid attack on Sauria, and in-game dialogue suggests that the SharpClaw may have been driven to extinction.

 StarFox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet GameCube Preview
As she speaks to the flying dinosaur in a strange, alien language, we learn through the sub-titles that she's picked up some kind of distress signal and is heroically trying to locate the source throughout the storm.
As Krystal evades the strange, jellyfish-like guards left behind by Scales, she learns the evil plan: disperse the planet's sacred spirits, who give life to Dinosaur Planet, so that the planet would be tossed into confusion and Scales could then use the situation to his advantage.
Getting to Dinosaur Planet is no easy trip, involving around six tight, flights against squadrons of enemy fighters and columns of space structures, portals, and asteroid fields; the kind that need you to fly through a pattern of gold rings to succeed.

 TV Preview 'Dinosaur Planet' mixes fact and fancy

 Dinosaurs @ Planet Dinosaur
Dinosaurs were a group of reptiles that lived during the Mesozoic Age (231-65 Ma).
In fact there was probably a dinosaur for every sort of mammal of today except maybe those that burrow, climb, fly or live in water.
Richard Owen (1804 - 1892) gave the name to this new group of animals from two Greek words: deinos, meaning "terrible" and sauros, meaning "lizard".

For the first time in the series, players will be able to manoeuvre the heroic Fox McCloud around a 3D landscape outside his trusty Arwing, using all his wit, cunning, small-arms weaponry and agility to outfox (hah!) a wily collection of embittered dinosaurs causing hassle for the friendly natives of the Dinosaur Planet.
The battle to reclaim the planet from these upstarts will be waged on land and sea in third person adventure sections, and in the skies above the planet in classic space combat sections.
The difficulty here is that Dinosaur Planet was progressing for quite a long time as a third person adventure game, and one has to be concerned that perhaps the end product of this crossover will feel like two separate games bolted on to one another.

 IGN: Dinosaur Planet Kisses N64 Goodbye
Though it has long been thought that Dinosaur Planet should make the platform switch because it would not get the attention it deserves as a cartridge release, the team working on the project allegedly fought both Nintendo and Rare on the redesign.
Reports from those close to the product suggest that a final decision to terminate the 64-bit release and revamp the title for GameCube was not made until November of last year, just a few months after the August unveiling of the future console.
Exactly what content changes will ultimately be introduced to Dinosaur Planet as it transitions to GameCube are not yet known, but logic tells us that, at the minimum, the title's visuals will see dramatic improvements as 3D models are re-rendered and higher resolution textures applied.
