[|Human|] What was the first dinosaur to be identified and recorded by scientists?
[|AI|] The first dinosaur to be scientifically described and named was Megalosaurus, which was identified by the Reverend William Buckland in 1824. This dinosaur was a large, meat-eating theropod that lived during the Middle Jurassic period, around 167 million years ago. Buckland, a professor of geology at the University of Oxford, described the find as a giant reptile based on a few bones and teeth that were discovered in a slate quarry in Stonesfield, England.
