Dorothy used to write about "The Star Beast." The Lummox may qualify as
distinctly dinosaur in demeanor.

Didn't Lummox have four legs and two arms ?  Not quite a dinosaur.  And
her family put her on a severe diet.

 My recently concluded research to answer your question indicates Lummox
has eight legs and looks like a triceratops.
      Lummox remained reared up, watching the dog but making
     no move. He did add to his earlier remark a truthful
     statement about the dog's ancestry and an untruthful
     one about his habits; they helped to keep the mastiff
     berserk. But on the dog's seventh round trip he cut
     fairly close to where Lummox's first pair of legs would
     have been had Lummox had all eight feet on the ground...
      The impression is something like a rhinoceros, something
     like a triceratops, though the articulation is unlike
     anything native to this planet. "Lummox" his young master
     calls him and the name fits.

 "Essence of Rex" is by a local sculptor in my town. Apparently female
rex were considerably larger than males:

I need to do research again.  This book is in my six star list of books and I have read it several times.  Time for another reread.
