    The mass extinction of the dinosaurs In the modern world Volcanos and Asteroids many seem completely different but they both happen to have similar effects. Around sixty-five million years ago a mass extinction occurred wiping out many animals, including all the dinosaurs. There are many theories towards this mass extinction but the two theories with the most scientific background knowledge is the asteroid theory and the volcanic theory (National Geographic, 2017). These two theories both could

    In this article it explains how they found the pigments inside dinosaur eggs that give them their green­blue coloring. Upon investigation, they still had the pigments of colors in them. Pigments are difficult to break down, but how could the pigments remain if the dinosaur eggs were millions of years old? In a second case they found red blood cell “look alikes” and traces of connective tissue. The discovery of the connective tissue immediately intensified research of these eggs, because long ago

    The newly found dinosaur is estimated to be 30 feet long, a plant eater and is a member of the duck-billed dinosaurs. Gregory M. Erickson, a professor at Florida State University and also one of the researchers working on the Alaskan site, describes that it had “at least 1,000 teeth with coarse surfaces perfect for pulverizing plants” and had “crests along its back like Godzilla” (Erickson, 2015). It is interesting how paleontologists could determine whether a certain fossil was herbivore or carnivore

    The theropods, also called by some people the “bird footed dinosaurs,” were a group of saurischian dinosaurs that used to walk the earth making everything in it’s path tremble. They were blood thirsty killing-machines with razor sharp teeth, ripping and tearing apart their prey and its flesh effortlessly. Many people believe that all dinosaurs are extinct and that there are none left on earth, but technically they are wrong. Those frightening beasts that used to roam earth years ago have now evolved

    I have recently made an amazing scientific discovery. I found a fully intact dinosaur frozen in ice. It was awesome! It was a Tyranosaurus Rex of all dinosaurs. Then when I showed it to the committee, they gave me a team of scientists so we could start studying it. So I immediately started researching it. About two days later, I was sitting in my office and a brilliant idea came to me. If I could find a way to revive it, I could make a amusement park about it and make a fortune. With the committees

    roots of the mammalian line reach back almost 300 million years. Some of the very early mammal relatives dominated the landscape millions of years before dinosaurs appeared, and most of these species became extinct. During the age of dinosaurs, most mammals were not much bigger than small rodents. It was after the extinction of the large dinosaurs that the great diversity of mammals arose. The timeline in this hall displays the development of such key mammalian physical features as the synapsid opening

    always wondered what it would be like to live the life of a dinosaur. Their success of their empire is second to none in the animal kingdom, and I always wanted to know what it would be like to be a part of that empire. With modern animals, we already have a good idea of how they behaved and what their lifestyles were like. But with an extinct animal, we don’t know exactly how they lived out their lives. The reason why I picked a dinosaur is that my imagination can run wild with the possibilities
