Dinosaur fossils were probably found into antiquity. The Chinese certainly found fossils and thought they were dragon bones. In certain parts of China they were used in traditional medicine and is a practice that continues to this day.
The documented find was a Megalosaurus found in 1676 near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire in England. It was sent to Robert Plot. He correctly identified the bone as a femur but suggested it was from an extinct species of giant human or possibly an extinct elephant. (Later examination of the bone by Richard Brooks in 1763, as a reference to the close appearance of the fossil to certain parts of the male reproductive organ he called the bones "Srotum Humaranum"). It is not documented who found the fossil however.
In 1699 Edward Lyund described a sauropod tooth found in Caswell, Cornwall, England and correctly identified it as a dinosaur fossil.
Between 1815 and 1824 Reverend William Bucknall collected more Megalosaur bones and became the 1st person to describe dinosaurs in scientific journals.
It was not until 1842 that the English paleontologist Richard Owen fist coined the name "Dinosaur".
