Around 500 genera having been found described, but estimates of the total number of dinosaur genera to have existed falls around 2,500. this leaves potentially thousand of species to be found in the future, though it is likely that some species may never be found.

500 genera and 1,000 species of extinct dinosaurs are known to science, but we have only discovered a fraction of the dinosaurs that once existed. Birds, a subgroup of dinosaurs, have over 10,000 described species alive today.
