'''[[TheEighties 1980s]]/[[TheNineties 1990s]]/[[TurnOfTheMillennium 2000s]]''': The original movie ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' and other works made in the second half of the 1980s started popularizing the image of dinosaurs as set up by the Dinosaur Renaissance. Since the 1990s, scientifically up-to-date books and computer animation in films/shows (especially in the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' and ''Franchise/WalkingWithDinosaurs'' franchises) have completed the job.

'''Late 1800s:''' The excitement of the U.S. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_Wars Bone Wars]] made dinosaurs interesting to the readership of newspapers and magazines that recounted the exploits and discoveries of Marsh and Cope. Stock dinosaurs found: ''Brontosaurus'' (''Apatosaurus'', though at the moment said synonymy is kind of rocky), ''Diplodocus'', ''Allosaurus'', ''Ceratosaurus'', ''Stegosaurus'', ''Triceratops'', ''Trachodon'' (''Edmontosaurus''). Non-dinosaurs found: ''Pteranodon'', ''Elasmosaurus'', ''Tylosaurus'', and ''Dimetrodon''.

The number of stars for each animal and the Entry Time & TropeMaker-s are (or can be) kinda subjective, and the latest two ''do not'' refer to the scientifical discovery of the animals but to one of the first noticeable works in which they have been portrayed (or alternatively an iconic museum-skeleton, life-size model, paleo-artistic painting, distinctive anatomical trait etc.). For example, both ''Velociraptor'' & ''Spinosaurus'' were first discovered and described in the early XX century, but they have ascended to true Stock only in the last few decades thanks to [[Franchise/JurassicPark one single series]]. Similarly, the belonging of an animal to the Stock or the Non-Stock ensemble is equally sorta subjective and can easily change across the years. For example, ''Microraptor'' has become known to science only since year 2000, and is obviously absent in works made before that year, such as ''The Rite Of Spring'' of Disney’s ''Fantasia'' (made in 1940) or ''The Land Before Time'' original film, made in 1988.

'''[[OlderThanTelevision Early 1900s]]''': Updated depictions of dinosaurs were brought to the general public by early paleoartists (beginning with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_R._Knight Charles R. Knight]]), by distribution of skeleton casts which made life-sized and fairly life-like museum exhibits possible, and by dinosaurs being introduced to films. From this time on, dinosaurs and movie special effects were tightly coupled. Based on the finds during and since the Bone Wars, dinosaurs were now seen as a more varied bunch, with larger and... less large forms, bipedal or quadrupedal. They were still sluggish brutes destined for complete extinction, though. In 1940 Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'' reached a large audience, but didn't change the media image much. Introducing: The aforementioned dinosaurs and non-dinosaurs from the Bone Wars plus ''Tyrannosaurus'', ''Brachiosaurus'' (now split into ''Brachiosaurus altithorax'' and ''Giraffatitan brancai''; the latter of which is infinitely more represented under the ''B.'' moniker), ceratopsians ''Styracosaurus'', ''Protoceratops'' & ''Chasmosaurus'', ''Ankylosaurus'', ''Ornithomimus''/''Struthiomimus'', ''Ornitholestes'', ,''Hypsilophodon'', hadrosaurs ''Parasaurolophus'', ''Corythosaurus'' & ''Kritosaurus'', ''Plateosaurus'', ''Pachycephalosaurus''/''Stegoceras'', ''Coelophysis'', and the non-dinosaurs ''Rhamphorhynchus'', ''Dimorphodon'', and ''Archelon''.

'''[[OlderThanTelevision Early 1900s]]''': Updated depictions of dinosaurs were brought to the general public by early paleoartists (beginning with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_R._Knight Charles R. Knight]]), by distribution of skeleton casts which made life-sized and fairly life-like museum exhibits possible, and by dinosaurs being introduced to films. From this time on, dinosaurs and movie special effects were tightly coupled. Based on the finds during and since the Bone Wars, dinosaurs were now seen as a more varied bunch, with larger and... less large forms, bipedal or quadrupedal. They were still sluggish brutes destined for complete extinction, though. In 1940 Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'' reached a large audience, but didn't change the media image much. Introducing: The aforementioned dinosaurs and non-dinosaurs from the Bone Wars plus ''TyrannosaurusRex'', ''UsefulNotes/TyrannosaurusRex'', ''Brachiosaurus'' (now split into ''Brachiosaurus altithorax'' and ''Giraffatitan brancai''; the latter of which is infinitely more represented under the ''B.'' moniker), ceratopsians ''Styracosaurus'', ''Protoceratops'' & ''Chasmosaurus'', ''Ankylosaurus'', ''Ornithomimus''/''Struthiomimus'', hadrosaurs ''Parasaurolophus'', ''Corythosaurus'' & ''Kritosaurus'', ''Plateosaurus'', ''Pachycephalosaurus''/''Stegoceras'', ''Coelophysis'', and the non-dinosaurs ''Rhamphorhynchus'', ''Dimorphodon'', and ''Archelon''.

The number of stars for each animal and the Entry Time & TropeMaker-s are (or can be) kinda subjective, and the latest two ''do not'' refer to the scientifical discovery of the animals but to one of the first noticeable works in which they have been portrayed (or alternatively an iconic museum-skeleton, life-size model, paleo-artistic painting, distinctive anatomical trait etc.). For example, both ''Velociraptor'' & ''Spinosaurus'' were first discovered and described in the early XX century, but they have ascended to true Stock only in the last few decades thanks to [[Franchise/JurassicPark one single series]].
