[edit] "Godzilla"

I'm pretty sure it's knicknamed "Godzilla". -Walkingwith08 (talk) 20:01, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Is this true? And where should I put it if it is? -Walkingwith08 (talk) 20:01, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

The knickname "Godzilla" only applied to Dakosaurus andiniensis, after a National Geographic expose on some new skulls of D. andiniensis in 2005. It was not applied to the genus as a whole, and it was not coined just after the genus or South American species were described (which was in 1856 and 1996 respectively). There is a mention the National Geographic knickname on the Dakosaurus andiniensis page. It does not need to be repeated here. Mark t young (talk) 20:20, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

If there's a species page for this genus...THen is there one for Tyrannosaurus rex? -Walkingwith08 (talk) 18:47, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
