The smallest dinosaur was once Compsognathus, but has been overtaken by newer discoveries, Micropachycephalosaurus is among the smallest of the dinosaurs now, despite having the longest name. Wannanosaurus could also be one of the smallest.
Currently the smallest known non-avian dinosaur was a small feathered carnivore called Anchiornis. If you include birds, which are now classified as dinosaurs, the smallest would be the bee hummingbird.
Most palaeontologists believe compsognathus was the smallest dinosaur, but recent discoveries of an a dinosaur, micropachycephalosaurus that may be the smallest dinosaur ever and has the longest name ever given to a dinosaur!The smallest dinosaur is said to be the compsognathus.Its just 2 feet long and weighs only up to 6.5 pounds. There are a few more small dinosaurs which have the same heeight of the compsognathus.They are the saltopus and the echinodon.
The largest dinosaur ever to live is believed to be Argentinosaurus, which could reach lengths of up to 100 feet and weigh as much as 100 tons. This massive herbivore lived during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now Argentina.
The smallest herbivore is likely to be an insect or a microscopic organism such as a zooplankton. These creatures feed on plants or algae and can be found in various ecosystems around the world.
compsognathus is the smallest dinosaur and is the size of a chicken, but palaeontologists have just discovered 'micropachycephalosaurus' which might be even smaller and has the longest name of any dinosaur so far!
The smallest dinosaur known is the Parvicursor remotus, which was ony 12 to 15 inches long and is estimated to have weighed 4.8 and 5.7 ounces. Parvicursor was a tiny, bipedal feathered theropod dinosaur. It was an Alvarezsaurid, so it only had a single finger, with a claw. It may have used that claw to dig into termite mounds. To escape predators, they would have run quite fast.
`it was comsgnothus
The smallest meat-eating dinosaur ever was Microraptor, at 2 feet long and lighter than a turkey.

the smallest dinosaur ever discovered so far is the compsongnathus this animal lived in the Jurassic period and the largest dinosaur ever discovered is argentinosaurus it weight 100 tons!!!!
The bee hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) is "the smallest dinosaur that ever lived". Of course your question only applies to non-avian dinosaurs. For over a century the smallest known dinosaur was the 3 foot Compsognathus, otfen compared to chickens in size. The discoveries in China for the last 20 years have revealed many smaller dinosaurs. Currently the smallest known dinosaur is Epidexipteyx, at only 1 foot long. The smallest dinosaur that ever lived on earth was "westlothiana," it is almost the same size as a fully grown human's toe!
the biggest dinosaur was amphicoealis fragillimimus and the smallest dinosaur microraptor or frutaidens
The smallest dinosaur is Microraptor, probably less than 1 ft tall, and is 2 ft long.
Epidexipteryx is the smallest known dinosaur. It weighed only 0.36 lb.
The smallest dinosaur is a humming bird.
The Compsognathus.
the smallest dinosaur is a stegosaurus with a 2.5 once brain
