Dinosaurs That Start With V
Explore a complete list of over 19 dinosaurs that start with the letter V.
Each dinosaur listed has a dedicated page with information on classification, diet, size, fossil evidence, geographic distribution, and maps of known fossil locations, where available. Pages may also include size comparison charts, fossil representations, and in-depth descriptions based on current scientific research.
The amount of information varies by species, depending on the completeness of fossil discoveries.
Diet: Herbivore.Size: Up to†‬6†‬meters long.Time Period: Campanian of the Cretaceous.
Diet: Herbivore.Size: Unknown.Time Period: Maastrichtian of the Cretaceous.
Diet: Uncertain.Size: Unknown.Time Period: Valanginain of the Cretaceous.
Diet: Herbivore.Size: Holotype estimated at about†‬1.2†‬meter
long,†‬though this is also noted as being a juvenile.†‬An isolated 50
centimetre long femur suggests an adult size of approximately 4.4
meters long when scaled up from the holotype.Time Period: Early Cretaceous.
Diet: Carnivore/Piscivore.Size: Roughly estimated at about 8 meters long.Time Period: Barremian of the Cretaceous.
Diet: Carnivore.Size: Tibia od holotype roughly about 52 centimetres
long. Body length rougly between 4 and 4.5 meters long.Time Period: Barremian of the Cretaceous.
Diet: Carnivore.Size: Uncertain.Time Period: Aptian of the†‬Cretaceous.
Diet: Carnivore.Size: Uncertain due to lack of fossil remains.â€
‬Original describers considered the holotype individual dinosaur to
have been two and half to three meters long in life.Time Period: Barremian of the Cretaceous.
Diet: Herbivore.Size: Estimated around†‬7.6†‬meters long for the
holotype,†‬adults may have approached around†‬10†‬meters long when
fully grown.Time Period: Campanian of the Cretaceous.
Diet: Carnivore.Size: 2†‬meters long.Time Period: Campanian of the Cretaceous.
Diet: Carnivore/Ominvore�Size: Tibia 14 centimetres long. Total length
roughly estimated about†‬1.2 â€to 1.5 ‬meters
long.Time Period: Santonian of the Cretaceous.
Diet: Herbivore.Size: About†‬10†‬meters long.Time Period: Aptian/Albian of the Cretaceous.
Diet: Carnivore.Size: Holotype about†‬1.5†‬meters long.Time Period: Late Cretaceous.
Diet: Carnivore.Size: Uncertain due to lack of remains,†‬however
when originally described by Rauhut and compared to Acrocanthosaurus,â€
‬was estimated to be somewhere between†‬8.5†‬and†‬10†‬meters in
length.Time Period: Kimmeridgian/Tithonian of the Jurassic.
Diet: Carnivore.Size: Roughly†‬estimated at about†‬5.5†‬meters
long for the holotype.Time Period: Santonian of the Cretaceous.
Diet: Herbivore.Size: Uncertain due to lack of remains.Time Period: Hauterivian of the Cretaceous.
Diet: Herbivore.Size: Uncertain due to lack of remains.Time Period: Callovian of the Jurassic.
Diet: Herbivore.Size: Roughly estimated to be about†‬15†‬meters
long.Time Period: Oxfordian of the Jurassic.
Diet: Herbivore.Size: Holotype individual dimensions include
following; Fore leg - humerus 70 centimetres, radius 64.7 centimetres,
ulna 66 centimetres. Hind leg - Femur 110 centimetres, tibia 63.4
centimetres. Total length of preserved portion of the skeleton
estimated at 6.5 meters, however this figure does not include the neck
and skull. Total size uncertain until neck vertebrae are found, but
certainly longer than 6.5 meters.Time Period: Toarcian of the Jurassic†(‬see main
text for more detailâ€)‬.
