Sometimes there's a designation to where the fossil was found (as in Tuojiangosaurus or Neanderthal). Sometimes, there's a prefix designating the animal's place in evolution (like "proto" in Protoceratops, showing that it was one of the original ceratopsians). Another designation might be to the size of the critter (such as in microraptor or Seismosaurus).

How do scientists believe that a great flood killed the dinosaurs?

Scientists do not believe that the extinction of the dinosaurs was the result of a great flood. There are still a number of competing theories about the extinction of the dinosaurs although it is clear that there was a large meteor impact in the Yucatan region, which played a role. It may also be that rising carbon dioxide levels and ocean acidity played a role as well. It may be that there were a number of contributing factors, rather than just one single cause. But scientists do not think that flooding was involved. Note that some dinosaurs were aquatic, and would not have been killed by flooding since they already lived in the water.
