9949 Brontosaurus
This minor planet was named after Brontosaurus, a gigantic quadruped sauropod dinosaurs, which walked on all four legs and lived in the Upper Jurassic. Adult individuals measured up to 20 meters and had a weight of up to 20 tons. Many Fossils have been found in the United States. Brontosaurus is one of the best-known dinosaurs. The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 20 November 2002 ().
Austroraptor
Considered large for a dromaeosaur, "Austroraptor cabazai" measured about in length from head to tail. In 2010, Gregory S. Paul estimated its length at 6 metres, its weight at 661.387 pounds or 300 kilograms. It is the largest dromaeosaur to be discovered in the Southern Hemisphere. The type specimen, labeled MML-195, consisted of a fragmentary skeleton including parts of the dinosaur's skull, the lower jaws, a few neck and torso vertebrae, some ribs, a humerus, and assorted bones from both legs. However little of the entire skeleton was found, what bones were available for analysis expressed some distinct characteristics that differentiate "Austroraptor" from other dromaeosaurs. "A. cabazai"'s 80 centimeter-long skull was low and elongated, much more so than that of other dromaeosaurs. Several of its skull bones bore some resemblance to that of the smaller troodontid deinonychosaurs. The front limbs of this taxon were short for a dromaeosaur, with its humerus less than half the length of its femur. Among the Dromaeodauridae, only this genus, "Tianyuraptor", "Zhenyuanlong" and "Mahakala" have similarly reduced forelimbs. The relative length of its arms has caused "Austroraptor" to be compared to another, more famous short-armed dinosaur, "Tyrannosaurus".
