A fierce looking Tyrannosaurus rex (are there any other kinds?) A life size model in the Natural History Museum London (2019). The Natural History Museum was established by Richard Owen in the 19th century, who coined the word "dinosaur", so in a way it is the epicentre of dinosaurs.

big dinosaur FutalognkosaurusROM DSC 8213

This is a cast replica of a huge dinosaur- "Futalognkosaurus" ( foo-ta-long-koh-sohr-us ) - recently discovered in Patagonia. The fossil is colossal and this is a closer shot of the pelvis looking up from between the legs. It was photographed at the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto. According to Wikipedia the word “Futalognkosaurus” derives from the local language of Mapudungun : "futa" meaning "giant", "lognko" meaning "chief" (so giant-chief-lizard). It would have been between 26-34 M long (a blue whale is up to about 30m).

This is a hadrosaur or duck-billed dinosaur, Edmontosaurus annectens , originally found in Alberta and now in the lobby of the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto. It was a herbivore, and lived about 70 million years ago. The photo is a composite of several smaller photographs taken from close up. This was done first because the fossil is behind a fence-like enclosure to keep hands off, very understandable but it didn’t look very good in the photos. Getting close allowed the fence to be lost. Second, getting close should, in theory, pick up more detail. The joins are a bit “off” in several places but it was the closest to true that I could get.
