What is Alaska's state dinosaur?
Alaska has no state dinosaurs, but its state fossil is the woolly mammoth.
Some dinosaurs were carnivores who's diet consisted of meat and others were herbivores eating only plants, and then there were omnivores who eat meat and plants.
herbivores eat leaves and carnivores eat other dinosaurs
Why do dinosaurs skin color change?
Well to start they had scales or feathers, not bare skin. But also, humans have no proof of what the colors of dinosaur scales/feathers were since they decompose unlike the bones. They only have evidence of scales/feathers because of imprints in the rocks by the fossils. However, the chameleon can change colors. It does this using cells called chromatophores which contain pigment or reflect light in certain ways. They mainly change colors for display to prospective mates but it can also change according to temperature and mood. Camouflage is a more of a secondary reason.
What is the Fish that lived with dinosaurs and is still alive today near Madagascar?
the fish is coelocanth
How are dinosaur skeletons held up in museums?
If you are referring to the fosil skeletons you often see in museums, these are held together by wires or other supports. If done well you can hardly see the supports.
The question can be broken into two parts 1) does size matter, and 2) if size matters then what was different about the Earth during the Mesozoic era that allowed the dinosaurs to grow so large?
In 1638, Galileo answered the first part of the question in his book Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences. Contrary to Gulliver's Travels and countless science fiction movies showing animals the wrong size, Galileo made it very clear that size matters.
Galileo explained how size matters in his book Dialogues Concerning Two New Science a title similar to his book Dialogues Concerning Two Chief World Systems where he argued the evidence supporting the heliocentric model of the solar system. Thus he considered these two ideas to be of relatively equal importance.
While Galileo was successful in convincing the Church and the conservative science community that the world is not flat, the conservative science community has yet to embrace Galileo's Square-Cube Law even though it is clearly correct and fundamental to understanding every major science discipline.
Numerous elementary science educators would like to teach Galileo's Square-Cube Law, yet they do not like being embarrassed by their students asking them to explain the incongruity between Galileo's Square-Cube Law and the large dinosaurs and flying pterosaurs. Thus the problem of how dinosaurs grew so large is a scientific paradox that has been holding back science for literally hundreds of years.
Scientists have identified four specific problem areas regarding the large terrestrial Mesozoic animals: 1) insignificant bone strength, 2) insignificant muscle strength, 3) unacceptably high blood pressure existing in the tallest dinosaurs such as the Brachiosaurus, and 4) grossly insignificant power for cold-blooded reptiles to fly.
What dinosaur eggs where found in Mongolia and china?
The only ones of which I am aware where eggs of Protoceratops, a very earl, dog-sized ceratopsian dinosaur, a progenitor of the huge upper Cretaceous ceratopsians such as Styracosaurus and Triceratops.
Can you live in your home during the redemption period in MN?
You can live in the house 6 months after the Sheriff sale. This is called the redemption period.
During most of the Mesozoic, the era when non avian dinosaurs lived, grass didn't exist. It first evolved in the late Cretaceous. However, their have been dinosaur coprolites (dung fossils) that contain grass. But grass only lived near streambeds during the Mesozoic, and wasn't abundant enough for any dinosaur species to solely eat grass.
Some people believe that dinosaurs will come back in their life time. Some people believe that they will come back after there life time. Some people believe they will be cloned. Some people believe, that they will never come back. What ever you believe, you can believe. But I believe that dinosaurs will not come back ever, but will be cloned outside of my lifetime. - Christopher250 -
Was Antarctica warmer during the time of the dinosaurs?
Yes, during the time of the dinosaurs there were no icecaps at the poles. Although Antarctica was still over the South Pole at the time, its climate was cool temperate.
This was partly due to CO2 levels (which were about five times today's), and partly because South America and Australia were then joined to Antarctica, forcing warm ocean currents down from the tropics -- unlike today where the Antarctic Circumpolar Current thermally isolates the continent from the rest of the world.
Did apple tree exist in the triassic period?
No. Fruit trees first appeared during the Cretaceous, two periods after the Triassic. The only trees in the Triassic were conifers.
Coelophysis
Is a ceolophysis a meat eater?
I think you mean a Coelophysis. They are dinosaurs that are thought to have died from drowning or something. Yes they're meat eaters.
Who arrived on earth first Adam and Eve or the ape or the dinosaur?
>>genesis 1:24 explains God created all living creatures (this included dinosaurs and apes)
>>genesis 1:26 explains God made man.
AnswerThe idea that man walked the earth before (or even with) the dinosaurs is not borne out by any physical evidence whatsoever. None. Quite the contrary. This does not say anything about creation, but only about the order of the arrival of living things on earth. A huge number of living creatures arose, populated the earth, and then died off completely before man appeared - including the dinosaurs. AnswerAs far as the Biblical record goes it says that the apes and dinosaurs were created before man, on day 6. Man of course being the pinnacle of creation.Evolutionists interpret the fossil record to relate to the history of the planet in terms of the dogma of uniformitarianism. The problem is that many fossils do not fit into the scheme such as polystrate fossils and there are also many gaps in the fossil record compared to what evolution would predict. This is acknowledged by evolutionists themselves.
Creationists interpret the fossil record to relate not so much to the evolution of life on earth but to the order of burial in the flood and other related events. Thus, 'simpler', less mobile forms of life are buried lower generally than forms of life which are mobile and able to escape to higher ground. In addition to this we find large fossil graveyards where huge numbers of specimens are buried catastrophically.
Considering the immense numbers of humans and 'sub-humans' who would have walked the earth if evolution were true, it is indeed surprising to know how little actual evidence exists for human evolution and how few specimens there are. The catastrophic flood of Noah's day was designed as a terrible judgment on the wicked world of that day. It is not surprising under this paradigm that there are so few specimens of the genus homo from that pre-flood world, if any at all.
Evolutionists are keen to point out the incompleteness of the fossil record, or even to say there are not enough paleontologists when confronted by the gaps in their theory. As far as the creation side goes it could simply be said 'absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.' The problem for evolution is that there is plenty of evidence, the wrong kind of evidence.
What was the first dinosaurs found in Antarctica?
The first dinosaur whose fossils were found in Antarctica was Antarctopelta in 1986. It wasn't named until 2006, long after a second dinosaur, Cryolophosaurus, was found and named in 1991 and 1994, respectively.
What role does the sun play in making fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels wwwwwwwere once living plants and animals. If they were plants they got their energy from the sun, and if they were animals they got their energy from eating plants who got their energy from the sun, or from eating animals who ate animals who ate plants who got their energy from the sun. In other words the sun is the source of all energy. The sun´s energy is stored in living beings, in plants and the animals that eat the plants, and if conditions are right, that energy is then stored in the form of fossil fuels.
What kind of dinosaur lived in the water?
No dinosaurs specifically lived in the water. Plesiosaurs, pliosaurs, mosasaurs and ichthyosaurs lived in the water (but are not DINOSAURS). They are reptiles but not dinosaurs. They co-inhabited the planet with dinosaurs, in the same way that the pterosaurs ruled the air. Pterosaurs were not dinosaurs either.
The genus of carnivorous marine dinosaur is spelled Liopleurodon.
How many years ago were dinosaurs alive?
Dinosaurs were extinct 65 million years ago. Dinosaurs were on Earth for 180 million years, but dinosaurs are still here but as birds.
