The Big Dinosaur 'T-REX' By Nathan Murray

Carnotaurus could kill a small dinosaur and it could kill or hunt down a bigger dinosaur. It had a fast bite but not a very strong bite. Carnotaurus could eat a

The author I chose for this project was Jane Yolen. Before this project I had never heard of her; after this project I was shocked that I never had. Going through the list of authors and illustrators on the Reading Rockets website I decided the way I was going to choose my author was by a catchy title of the book under their name. When I cam across Jane the title under her name was How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight? Being a dinosaur lover that instantly caught my eye.

While a theropod “beast-footed” carnivore includes the T. Rex, the ones that likely roamed Wrangel-St.Elias National Park were considerably smaller. The researchers found evidence of a single theropod that was likely a tiny 9 cm long and 7 cm wide due to an impression of the sinusoidal shape. Several ornithopod, medium and large plant-eating dinosaurs, was identified by blunt and rounded digit impressions which are usually 22 cm long and 26 wide. It was the first evidence that dinosaurs roamed this vast region.

The elongated arm bones that support the wing evolved in the first coelurosaur, which probably looked like ornitholestes. As far as we know feathers are unique to birds, but this doesn’t mean that birds are not dinosaurs. Because birds belong to the group called dinosaurs, it follows that birds are feathered dinosaurs. The closest known evolutionary relatives of birds are some of the small carnivorous dinosaurs, such as velociraptor, ornitholestes, and deinonychus. The difference between a Tyrannosaurus Rex and Apatosaurus is that almost everything about Tyrannosaurus Rex indicates enormous power of one of the largest theropod dinosaurs that ever existed. They have a 4-foot-long jaw, 6-inch-long teeth and massive thighbones. It is the largest and most fearsome carnivore of all time. The fossil was originally arranged so that the dinosaur stood

Friendship is a key aspect of life. They are your support system, who you go to in time of need, who you share memories with that can last a lifetime. In today’s society, many friendships are broken up between friends because of trust issues, or the lack of positivity that may be spread through the group.

The Stegosaurus is said to be twenty-six to thirty feet long and about nine feet tall! the stegosaurs weighed six thousand-eight hundred pounds, can you believe that? but it had a very small brain, about the size of a nut. they are herbivores, meaning they only eat low plants and crops. they have seventeen bone plates that grew out of its back! some think that their plates helped them look bigger maybe to scare off the meat eaters or maybe just to show off. they also have spikes on their tail, the stegosaurus tail is four feet long as their tail is also very flexible and they can use to protect themselves from large predators or scare those carnivores. Its name also means covered lizard, they could not walk very fast and some paleontologists believe that if that if they had blood veales running through their plates that its plates could change color, pretty interesting right?

The Tyrannosaurus rex has a bone-crushing force skull, massive and long legs, and a brain that has a strong sense of smell. These characteristics were beneficial to the T-rex. First, the jaw of the T-rex was able to crush their prey's bones and drag the meat further which is also known as puncture and pull strategy. Next, the T-rex legs were massive and long especially in the juvenile stage because it had the strength of an adult legs which they were able to fast walk. Lastly, the T-rex had a strong sense of smell and binocular vision which can easily capture their prey. On the other hand, their arms were shortened relative to the size of T-rex body. There was no evidence that the T-rex used their arms for predation or scavenging.

Velociraptor was a mid-sized dromaeosaurid, with adults measuring up to 2.07 m (6.8 ft) long, 0.5 m (1.6 ft) high at the hip, and weighing up to 15 kg (33 lb).[3] The skull, which grew up to 25 cm (10 in) long, was uniquely up-curved, concave on the upper surface and convex on the lower. The jaws were lined with 26–28 widely spaced teeth on each side, each more strongly serrated on the back edge than the front.[1][4]

The story of the "Tooth and Claw" by T.C. Boyle was definitely not something I would choose to read if I were picking something myself. The story is told by Jimmy, and contains what I perceive to be three main characters Jimmy (the protagonist), Daria (the love interest), and a serval cat. In summary, Jimmy moves to California in the hopes of rediscovering himself. He is a young man who is dealing with the death of a father he did not like, trying to create a new life. He indicates his intentions when he said, "The whole reason I’d moved out to the Coast to live, first with my Aunt Kim and her husband, Waverley, and then in my own one-bedroom apartment with kitchenette and a three-by-six-foot balcony with a partially obscured view of the Pacific, half a mile off, was so that I could inject a little excitement into my life and mingle with all the college students in the bars that lined State Street cheek to jowl, but here I was hanging out in an old-man’s bar that smelled of death and vomit and felt as closed in as a submarine, when just outside the door were all the exotic, sunstruck glories of California." (206) This statement really summarizes Jimmy. He is seeking excitement and wanting to find happiness with someone his own age, and recreate his existence. Whether it is because he is unable to break out of old habits or because of his fear of doing something new, Jimmy is failing miserably at his task. Instead of seeking out what he desires he is in affect

The Tyrannosaurus, also known as the T-Rex, are some of the biggest carnivores that roamed this planet. A large one would weigh about 6,000 Kilograms. A large T-Rex was 12.3 meters long. It could crush bone with a single bite. It ate the big 3 witch are the Hadrosaurs, Ceratopsians, and Ankylosaurus. In the stereoscopic arc(witch is where both eyes meet) the T-Rex could see 3-D. It’s name means tyrant lizard. The T-Rex was tall but not the tallest carnivorous dinosaur.

The first dinosaurs were small, meat-eating animals that first arose over 200 million years ago. From such small beginnings evolved thousands of different species, including the largest animals ever to walk on Earth. At the Smithsonian, some of the most important dinosaurs known to science stand in our exhibit halls, from the ferocious Allosarus to eighty-foot Diplodocus. Learn more about our famous dinosaurs

This test system is stuffed with all your most loved Jurassic dinosaurs including: Pterodactyl, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Velociraptor, Spinosaurus, and obviously T-Rex.

Ian Tattersall, author of "Masters of the Planet", is curator emeritus at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Tattersall was born in 1945 in the United Kingdom, and grew up in east Africa. He trained in archeology and anthropology at the University of Cambridge, and earned his PhD from Yale University in 1971. Tattersall’s main focus over the course of his career has been on three areas; the human fossil record, the study and ecology of Lemurs in Madagascar, and finally on human cognition. He brings to the issues a lifetime of expertise in hominid evolution, as well as abundant experience in writing books for general audiences.

According to a live science, an article written by Mary Bagley, "The Cretaceous Period was the last and longest segment of the Mesozoic Era. It lasted approximately 79 million years, from the minor extinction event that closed the Jurassic Period about 145.5 million years ago to the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event dated at 65.5 million years ago"(Mary Bagley, LS). In the cretaceous period, the continent of Pangea was still breaking away from itself, forming what we now know as the seven world continents. In the many eras of dinosaurs, the cretaceous era was responsible for evolving some, but not all the dinosaurs from full land dinosaurs to some who were able to live both on land and in water, semi-aquatic carnivorous dinosaurs. This era had produced some of the dinosaurs that maybe us non- paleontologist are more familiar with like the all mighty tyrannosaurus rex or the long neck. Well let me tell you, there were a lot more dinosaurs than just those two. Although the tyrannosaurs rex was an enormous dinosaur, a bigger dinosaur was discovered in 1912, the Spinosaurus. This discovery would change peoples, kids, and paleontologists view on which dinosaur was bigger than the other. This semi-aquatic dinosaur, Spinosaurus, was much larger than the T-rex due to its sail like backbones that stuck out of its back. Furthermore, spinosaurus had a huge advantage that the tyrannosaurus-rex did not.
