I have been trying to find the names of all of these dinosaurs for my daughter and I am having a hard time. Would someone be able to rattle these off for us?
I'd argue that Orange is likely either a Carnotaurus or Ceratosaurus, with the bump on the head suggesting an ornament, but that is assuming its mouth is closed like with the others
Edit: several of these could easily be different dinosaurs. Several people have said yellow is spinosaurus, I disagree but ouranosaurus fits better but isn't nearly as popular. Orange is sort of a generic therapod, but Ceratosaurus has a horn, so I would say it's that. The stegosaurus doesn't have spikes, but that's because it's a meeple and you can't show details.
They’re kids toys. Thagomizer is from a comic strip. It was a light hearted comment which wasn’t meant to stand up to paleontological peer review. Loosen up man, and get that cough checked out.
I'm well aware of where thagomizer came from, sorry for trying to educate you a little. I'll just never ever ever ever EVER reply to anyone again. Sorry you got so butthurt over a simple comment.
You've for sure got Brachiosaurus, Triceratops, Stegosaurus Ankylosaurus Parasaurolophus, a Plesiosaur Spinosaurus, a Pterosaur and what looks like a T.rex. the one stumping is the pink which could be Proceratosaurus
I can’t say which exact dinosaur any of these are(these toys simply aren’t detailed enough lol), but I think I can give you decent enough answers!
On the first column:
1st is a sauropod, so Brontosaurus, Apatosaurus or Brachiosaurus are popular examples you can choose from!
2nd is a theropod, but I don’t know which one it is. But with how popular T. rex is, this one is probably supposed to be the T. rex. Although it looks more like a raptor to me lol. This one is especially hard to ascertain.
3rd is Stegosaurus.
4th is Ankylosaurus.
5th is Parasaurolophus.
On the second column:
1st is a pterosaur like pterodactyl or pteranodon.
2nd is a small Triceratops relative like Protoceratops imo.
3rd is Triceratops.
4th is Spinosaurus.
5th is probably a Plesiosaur, which isn’t a dinosaur, but a marine reptile. Popular examples include Elasmosaurus and Plesiosaurus!
Some folks are saying the orange one is a T.Rex but it has these little bumps on it that actually make me think it's a Carnotaurous. Head shape also represents a Carno more than a Rex.
No thagomizer on that stego, id call it a dimetrodon.
Still not a dinosaur...
Though the sail is all wavy, so then again, stego may be the rightest answer thagomizer or not...
Light green, long neck: Brachiosaurus
Orange: probably Tyrannosaurus
Dark green, plates: Stegosaurus
Red: Ankylosaurus
Yellow-orange, crest: Parasaurolophus
Light blue, wings: Pteranodon (not a dinosaur)
Purple: Protoceratops
Violet, horns: Triceratops
Yellow, sail on back: very outdated Spinosaurus
Dark blue, long neck: Elasmosaurus (also not a dinosaur)
I think you're pretty spot on here but I do think the purple is possibly a pachyrhinosaurus.
This might be a stretch but could yellow be an ouranosaurus?
I think purple is a triceratops,I think pachyrinosaurs have a blunter horn
I'd argue that Orange is likely either a Carnotaurus or Ceratosaurus, with the bump on the head suggesting an ornament, but that is assuming its mouth is closed like with the others
Left top to bottom: Brachiosaurus, maybe Pachycephalosaurus, Stegosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Parasaurolophus.
Right top to bottom: any Pterosaur (just say it's Pteranodon), Protoceratops, Triceratops, Spinosaurus, Plesiosaur.
However, since those figures are highly stylised, it's hard to tell exactly, so I just gave the most prominent species of the corresponding group.
Brachiosaurus Ceratosaurus Stegosaurus Ankylosaurus Parasaurolophus
Pteranodon Protoceratops Triceratops Ouranosaurus Plesiosaurus

Cough, Thagomizer, cough!
Most paleontologists don't use thagomizer.
Sorry to all Paleontologists for using the term thagomizer when attempting to ID children’s foam toys. I can be better than this.
Just saying, you felt the urge to tell me thagomizer and I thought it was worth telling you that it isn't a generally used term. cough

my 4 year old will ace this.
Can I ask where you got these? I've been looking for tiny figures like these for board games

And spino in yellow! Brilliant work chat.
