Dinosaurs

No known species of dinosaur was ever able to fly despite birds being believed to have evolved from them. The flying reptiles such as the pterodactylus, tapejara, geosternbergia and ornithocheirus etc are collectively known as 'pterosaurs'. Their taxonomy is considered different from the dinosaurs. The largest of the pterosaurs to be discovered so far is the Quetzalcoatlus.

Yes, during the time of the dinosaurs, there was more land than water on Earth. The supercontinent Pangaea existed during the Mesozoic era, which was the time when dinosaurs lived. As Pangaea broke apart, it eventually led to the formation of the continents we have today.

They aren't fragile but they are brittle. Fossils are mineral crystalisations of decayed organic matter. Basically they are rocks.

The study of footprints is called ichnology. Ichnologists analyze trace fossils, including footprints, to understand the behavior of extinct animals and track their movements.

Liopleurodons lived in the seas during the Jurassic period, around 150 million years ago. They were large marine reptiles that were apex predators, known for their long, streamlined bodies and powerful jaws. They were found in a variety of locations, including what is now Europe.

Nobody knows how many for sure, but there are certainly thousands.

You've got to remember, fossils aren't necessarily whole skeletons, they might be sections of bone, a single tooth, a fossilised egg, or even a whole nest. Sometimes we get lucky and find whole skeletons, or even scenes from the past, such as a mother looking after her eggs, who died in a sandstorm, or a triceratops and a velociraptor who both died from the wounds they inflicted on each other, fossilised as a single scene, locked in combat even in death.

There are so many different varieties of dinosaur that we have discovered, and so many examples of each species, or pieces of examples, that we can't possibly be sure how many there even are. Some people say we have even only discovered 1% of all dinosaur species! So sorry, no-one really knows.

Hope this helped! :)

Dinosaurs likely communicated through a combination of vocalizations, body language, and visual displays. Some dinosaurs may have used sounds and gestures to convey information such as warnings, mating calls, or territorial boundaries. Fossils and studies on modern-day animals can provide some insight into how dinosaurs may have communicated.

The first dinosaurs on earth were the aquatic ones, as they were created along with the other creatures of the water a day or so before land animals were created about 6000 years ago. Dont worry about the answer to the question " what was the first dinosaur that evolved?" Because evolution is not possible, and there is no actual evidence to support that hypothesis.

I am not aware of any dinosaur fossils that have been found in Michigan. During much of the Cretaceous, the time period that most dinosaur fossils are from, Michigan was submerged under the Western Interior Seaway (which drained off millions of years ago).

However, there are some dinosaurs I know of from adjacent areas that may have lived in Michigan, too. There are too many of these to list, but here are some of the most famous ones:

Apatosaurus (known informally as Brontosaurus)

Allosaurus

Stegosaurus

Brachiosaurus

Diplodocus

Coelophysis

Dinosaurs have been found on all 7 continents, even Antarctica.

The likely mechanism by which an asteroid killed the dinosaurs, 65 million years ago, was that the very large impact threw a large amount of dust and particulate matter into the atmosphere, which then blocked out the sunlight long enough to disrupt the existing food chain.

Diplodocus was a long-necked whip-tailed dinosaur measuring about 90 feet long with a 26 foot long neck and a 45 foot long tail. It could reach up to 35 115 feet tall, and over 20 ft of that was its neck.

Some dinosaurs that lived in rainforest environments include Microraptor, Sinosauropteryx, and Anchiornis. These dinosaurs were small to medium-sized and are known from fossil discoveries in regions that were believed to be lush and forested during the Mesozoic era.

"Allosaurus robustus" is sometimes used for the fossil, but this is a nomen nudum or unofficial name.

Yes, pine trees did exist during the Jurassic period, which lasted from around 201 to 145 million years ago. While the exact species of pine trees that existed during that time may differ from those we have today, the general concept of pine trees as a plant group has been present for millions of years.

Well by a matter of fact idk i just wrote this because i never wrote a response to yahoo anwers, if u r doing it for a class im with yea bro MINECRAFT ALL THE WAY

Dinosaurs were on Earth before birds, humans, and monkeys. Dinosaurs existed from about 230 million years ago to 65 million years ago, while birds evolved from dinosaurs around 150 million years ago. Humans and monkeys diverged from a common ancestor around 25 million years ago.

Tyrannosaurus rex, even if spino and giga are slightly larger they were never ever as highly evolved as t-rex. T-rex had the strongest jaws/biteforce of anyother carnivores. The largest brain of any large meateater, perfect eyesight{contridicting what jack horner the palentology consultant from Jurassic park says}andt, he strongest/built body which makes up for his lack in size compared to giganotosaurus or spinosaurus, by the way t-rex would slaughter either of them if they ever came face to face.

The animals that lived 530 million years ago that resembled lancelets but had a brain and skull are believed to be early chordates called "Haikouichthys." These organisms are thought to be some of the earliest vertebrates, showing features that are more advanced than their lancelet relatives, such as a primitive brain and skull structure.

Rajasaurus narmadensis is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived in what is now India during the Late Cretaceous period, around 70 million years ago. It was a large carnivorous dinosaur that belonged to the abelisaurid group, known for their short arms and large skulls. Its fossils were discovered in the Narmada River Valley in central India.

Probably billions, most of which haven't even been discovered yet.

Dinosaurs had a variety of body coverings, most commonly scales or feathers. Some dinosaurs, like T. rex, had scales, while others, like Velociraptor, had feathers for insulation and display purposes. The specific type of body covering varied depending on the species of dinosaur.
