Certainly fossilized parts of dinosaurs had been found for centuries but people didn't know exactly what they were. They were mistaken for all sorts of animals.

I think it was Othniel Charles Marsh in the mid-to-late 19th century who first systematically collected dinosaur fossils and assembled them so that it became clear what they were and how they were related.
