Top 10 Dinosaurs Timeline

Tomorrow is Dinosaur Days in Fruita. I wrote this cute little story about the top 10 fictional dinosaurs through a generation timeline. I would post their pictures, but I don't know how to do that yet.
Too bad the Times didn't run this story, so here it is:

Fictional Dinosaurs for each generation: Who’s your favorite?

By Brenda Evers

This weekend June 30 is the 25^th Annual Dinosaur Day celebration in Fruita, where activities are set to honor the exploration, education, discoveries, research and preservation of the history of real dinosaurs at Dinosaur Journey Museum.

Dinosaurs have been fascinating since before homo sapiens stood up and walked on two feet, according to some scientists.

Hollywood and TV writers have created so many fictional stories about these extinct creatures that now each generation can remember its favorite.

What is your favorite fictional dinosaur?

Consider this timeline of the “Top Ten popular fictional dinosaurs,” plus the newest one:
