Richard Owen. In 1842, he coined the phrase 'dinosauria' which means 'terrible lizards' or 'terrible reptiles.' It was only used to define three different large reptiles that had been discovered at the time - Megalosaurus, Iguanodon and Hylaeosaurus. Other dinosaurs had been discovered at that time too, but hadn't been defined as in the same group as the other three yet. One notable example is Thecodontosaurus or the 'socket-toothed lizard,' a small prosauropod dinosaur from Bristol, UK. Its name eventually was given to the whole group that dinosaurs were thought to evolve from - the thecodonts, that first appeared in the Early Triassic period, following a massive extinction that wiped out over 90% of all life.
