I did a quick search for hybrid dinosaur names, and - naturally! - you're quite right, Bingley. The fact that a lot of the names end in saurus threw me a bit, but that's just a New Latin version of the Greek word sauros (lizard). Actually this appears to apply to most dinosaur names: they're New Latinized combinations of Greek roots (arrk, horrible sentence). Only exceptions I found were "triceratops" and "iguanodon", the latter being a combination of Spanish and Greek of all things.
