What Is a Megalosaurus?

It is a known fact that many bone fragments that have been discovered have been identified as "dinosaur" bones, in spite of the fact that scientists tell us that what they have named "dinosaurs" lived and died millions of years ago and that these bones have been in the ground for millions of years. So what is a Megalosaurus? Just one more pieced together “dinosaur.” William Buckland, Professor of Geology at the University of Oxford and dean of Christ Church acquired several bones that were discovered by John Kidd in 1815 at the Stonesfield quarry. William Buckland was urged on by an anatomist, Georges Curvier, to continue working on the subject, even though Buckland was aware that these bones DID NOT BELONG TO THE SAME INDIVIDUAL ANIMAL. He had a “piece of a right lower jaw with a single erupted tooth.” There was a “posterior dorsal vertebra, an anterior caudal vertebra, a cervical rib,” and a few other fragments. Wikipedia says “ because they (the bones) represented several individuals, the described fossils formed a syntype series. By modern standards, from these a single specimen has to be selected, on which the name is based. “Megalosuarus” was the name chosen. So the truth is, that they took bones from different individual animals, KNOWING that the bones did NOT belong to the same animal, pieced something together and named a NEW SPECIES that they called Megalosaurus. This is the regular process that has been used to INVENT dinosaurs. So what is person to believe? I ask you.
