5. Stegosaurus- 23+ ft, 2-3 tons
This dinosaur is one of the most famous of all time thanks to it's plates and spiked tail

4. Apatosaurus- 65 ft long, 25-30 tons
While many don't know Apatosaurus, they do know Brontosaurus, which is the same animal.

3. Pteranodon- 23-30 ft wingspan, 50-60 lbs
While not a dino, many think of Pteranodon when they think of dinosaurs. Most think of the name pterodactyl, but they have the image of Pteranodon.

1. Tyrannosaurus rex- Averaged 43-46 ft long and 7-8 tons, could reach 50 ft and 9+ tons though.
T-rex is without a doubt, the most famous dinosaur ever. It's so famous, it has been named the king of dinosaurs.

Honorable mentions-
Spinosaurus- 56 ft long, 5-7 tons
Well known to many dinosaur fans, Spino is still not quite as well known to the general public, although it is gaining popularity.
Velociraptor- 6 ft long, 100 lbs
Very famous dinosaur, just did not quite make the top 5. Probably number 6 or 7. Spino and Veloci are in the same range on the list.
Brachiosaurus- 83 ft long, 50 tons
Famous dinosaur, but not much of a difference between it and Brontosaurus/Apatosaurus to the general public.
Allosaurus- 33+ ft long, 3.5 tons
Like Spino, Allo is a pretty famous dinosaur that is gaining popularity.
This is my top 5. All size estimates are based off of MY theories and estimates. It's not about size or which dinosaur is better. Purely a rough top 5 for the most famous dinosaurs. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.
Thanks Guys
