If you glance to the right (or above, if you're on our mobile site), you will notice a top ten list of the oldest known dinosaurs, plucked from our prehistoric database.
If a dinosaur is added to the site with the appropriate strangle-hold-breaking stats, this list will be updated automagically.
Because of unforseen database issues which well trained chimps are trying to resolve, this list may contain critters known as "archosaurs". Not always but sometimes, and for reasons we haven't yet fathomed. Sorry and all that.
