      Some of the first dinosaurs to be described by scientists were found right here in the UK. Dinosaurs like Iguanodon and Megalosaurus were discovered in the 1820s, but people have been finding dinosaur fossils all over the world for thousands of years, they just didn’t know what they were. Places like China have loads, and some people think the legends of griffons and dragons were inspired by dinosaur bones!
