Abu Bakr Mohammad Ibn Zakariya al-Razi was a versatile Islamic philosopher who made fundamental and lasting contributions to the fields of medicine, chemistry (alchemy) and philosophy. He is credited with, among other things, the discovery of sulfuric acid, the "work horse" of modern chemistry and chemical engineering; and also of alcohol and its use in medicine. Razi was a prolific writer, having produced 184 books and articles, in several fields of science. According to historian Ibn an-Nadim, Razi distinguished himself as the best physician of his time who had fully absorbed Greek medical learning. As a medical educator, he attracted many students of all levels.

The Dettifoss is a waterfall located in the Mývatn area of North Central Iceland. It is situated in the Jökulsá á Fjöllum river which flows from glaciers. It is reputed to be the most powerful waterfall in Europe having a flow variously estimated at between 200 and 500 cubic metres of water per second depending on the season and the summer ice melt. The falls are 100 m wide with a drop of 44 m.

Featured list: List of dinosaurs
This list of dinosaurs is a comprehensive listing of all genera that have ever been included in the superorder Dinosauria, excluding class Aves (birds, both living and those known only from fossils) and purely vernacular terms. The list includes all commonly accepted genera, but also genera that are now considered invalid, doubtful (nomen dubium), or were not formally published (nomen nudum), as well as junior synonyms of more established names, and genera that are no longer considered dinosaurs. Many listed dinosaurs have since been reclassified as everything from birds to crocodilians to petrified wood. The list contains 1186 names, of which approximately 789 are considered valid dinosaur genera or nomina dubia. Aachenosaurus — actually a piece of petrified wood "Abdallahsaurus" — nomen nudum, probably Brachiosaurus or Giraffatitan Abelisaurus Abrictosaurus Abrosaurus Acanthopholis Achelosaurus^[1] — misspelling of Achelousaurus Achelousaurus Achillesaurus Achillobator Acracanthus — original invalid name of Acrocanthosaurus Acrocanthosaurus Actiosaurus — probably an ichthyosaur Adamantisaurus Adasaurus See full list...
