. The dinosaur book : the ruling reptiles and their relatives. Dinosaurs; Reptiles, Fossil. Introducing the Dinosaurs. Almost everybody knows that at one time, long ages ago, there were dino- saurs on the earth. Indeed, the pub- lic has become "dinosaur-conscious"—so much so, that the word "dinosaur" has be- come a common term in the English lan- guage, a word that stands for strength, size, and antiquity. And it is no wonder that the average man has at least a slight nodding acquain- tance with the dinosaurs, for in these days of widely disseminated thought they are all around him. Fossil skeletons are to be seen in the exhibition halls of many of our larger museums. Here also are pictures showing what these ancient animals looked like when they were alive. And from the mu- seums they get into books of various kinds. Now and then a dinosaur will show up on the Broadway stage or at a World's Fair. They are constantly popping out at us in humorous cartoons, and they frequently come to life in the movies. Their remains and the tracks they made can be seen 11.
