Dinosaurs

There were hundreds of species of carnivorous dinosaurs, from several different periods in history. Among the most known carnivorous dinosaurs are the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Allosaurus, the Velociraptor, Archeopteryx, and Coelophysis. It would be impractical for me to list every known carnivorous dinosaur here.

Micropachycephalosaurus (meaning small thick head lizard) is the largest name of a dinosaur in the world.

Teeth are the most likely part of a dinosaur to fossilize, because they are hard and dinosaurs lost and replaced them many times over their lifespans. Next are bones, especially large bones, horns, and claws.

Fossils of the Diplodocus dinosaur have been found predominantly in North America, particularly in states such as Colorado, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming. These fossils date back to the Late Jurassic period, around 154-150 million years ago. Diplodocus was a long-necked, herbivorous dinosaur known for its distinctive long tail and relatively small head.

Probably, considering the size of the dinosaurs. Elephant dung is puny compared to Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Dinosaur fossils tell us a lot about their size, appearance, behavior, and evolution. By studying fossils, scientists can infer information about the diet, habitat, locomotion, and social structures of dinosaurs. Fossils also provide clues about the environment in which dinosaurs lived and how they interacted with other species.

Cycad palms are called dinosaur food because they have been around since the time of dinosaurs and were commonly consumed by them. They are a primitive plant species that has existed on Earth for millions of years, making them a familiar source of food for dinosaurs during that era.

The dinosaur Otheniela was found in fossilized eggshells, making it an egg fossil.

The plant life in the quaternary period is basically the exact same plants we have now. Some plants might have changed because of climate change and time but, they are still similar. Contrary to what some people say, the quaternary period is not just the time of the ice age. The quaternary period is the entire time since homosapiens first appeared. Plants in the ice age were hardy and survived harsh enviroments. However, there were still some areas not as cold where plants thrived.

"Tryannosaurus" appears to be a misspelling of "tyrannosaurus," which refers to Tyrannosaurus rex, a large predatory dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period. It was one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs to have ever existed.

Yes, dinosaur fossils have been found on all continents, including Antarctica. Fossils from different regions provide valuable insights into the diversity and distribution of dinosaurs during the Mesozoic era.

Yes, the dinosaur fossil found in the Transantarctic Mountains in the summer of 1991 was the Cryolophosaurus. It was a large theropod dinosaur that lived during the Early Jurassic period, and its discovery provided valuable insights into dinosaur evolution in polar regions.

Paleontologists study fossils and ancient life, including, but not limited to, dinosaurs.

A Paleobotanist studies plant fossils.

The boundary between the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods, known as the K-T boundary, marks a significant mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs and many other species. It is believed to have been caused by a combination of factors, including a meteor impact and volcanic activity. The extinction event paved the way for the rise of mammals and ultimately led to the diversification of life on Earth.

Dilophosaurus lived at a time when North America's climate was mostly arid to semi-arid, similar to Africa and Australia today. The dominant flora of the time consisted of conifers, ferns, ginkgoes, cycads, and tree-ferns with no flowering plants like grass.

Dinosaur bones are found all over the world because billions and millions of years ago, the land on the earth was all one continent and so dinosaurs did not have to swim to get to places they could just walk though it would take a very long time.

The dinosaur extinction is significant because it led to the demise of the dominant species on Earth at the time, paving the way for mammalian evolution and eventually the rise of humans. It also provides important insights into how environmental changes can impact ecosystems and drive mass extinctions.

The question of if there are any surviving dinosaurs is being debated in science today.

The birds are now considered avian dinosaurs by most scientist because they evolved directly from dinosaurs and many of their characteristics are very close to some therapod dinosaurs characteristics. Recent findings even suggest that some dinosaurs were also covered in feathers further blurring the distinction between birds and their dinosaur ancestors.

Dinosaur fossils have been found in various parts of Arizona, including sites near Tucson, the Petrified Forest National Park, and the Grand Canyon. Some notable dinosaur fossils found in Arizona include those of Dilophosaurus and Sonorasaurus.

Most geologic periods are named for the location where rock formations were first found that contained fossils from that period, some others (e.g. Carboniferous) were named for materials associated with the fossils.

The Triassic Period occurred before the Jurassic Period. The Triassic Period lasted from about 251 million to 201 million years ago, while the Jurassic Period followed, lasting from about 201 million to 145 million years ago.

pterodactyl was NOT a dinosaur it was from a group of flying creatures called pterosaurs it was a carnivore

Reptilian scales and bird feathers are made of the same substance; keratin. Bird feathers evolved from degenerated dinosaurian (coelurosaurian?) scales. The feathers were probably first used for insulation or were perhaps used en massealong the arms to form 'traps' for catching insects.

Dinosaurs didn't have fur because it likely evolved after they went extinct. One theory is that fur developed as a way for mammals to regulate their body temperature and protect themselves from the environment, which wasn't a challenge for dinosaurs during their time.
