A generic dinosaur is uncapitaized, such as "brontosaurus." The only time to capitalize a dinosaur is if it had a proper name (such as "Jack the brontosaurus") or if it was named after a particular person or place (like "Piltdown Man").

If you are referring to a dinosaur using the proper binomial naming system used in science then there are a few rules to follow. The genus name comes first and is always capitalized. The species name comes second and is never capitalized and both names are italicized. As in the example Tyrannosaurus rex.
