Diplodocus

The Diplodocus emerged, 155.7 to 150.8 million years ago, during the Late Jurassic period and primarily roamed Western North America (Gee et al., 2003). First discovered in Cañon City, Colorado in 1877 by Samuel Wendell Williston, the partial Diplodocus fossils, hind limb and tail vertebras, indicated an unusual body construction with two rows of chevron bones on the underside of its tail. Due to this unique skeleton, in 1878, paleontologist Othniel C. Marsh coined its name – Diplodocus: “diplos”

Jurassic Period, from about 200 million to 145 million years ago. During the Jurassic Period, the supercontinent Pangaea split apart. The Jurassic was a golden age for the large herbivorous dinosaurs known as the sauropods—Camarasaurus, Apatosaurus, Diplodocus,

There were over 1,000 different species of dinosaurs (“Dinosaurs”) that lived and evolved for almost 185 million years (“Dinosaur Facts”). Dinosaurs were some of the largest and most mysterious creatures to walk the Earth. Dinosaurs have helped scientists to understand the Earth and it 's past by studying different types, how they lived, their characteristics and what caused their mass extinction. When, where and how did dinosaurs live? Dinosaurs arose around 200 million years ago and lived and

Dinosaurs lived on earth 65 million years ago. They lived on the earth much before any human being was born. They ruled the earth for over 165 million years, till 65 million years ago. They were huge monsters, even bigger than elephants. The word "dinosaur" was taken from a Greek word which means terrible lizard. But they weren't exactly lizards. Lizards are one type of reptile and dinosaurs are another type. Not all dinosaurs were giants. Some dinosaurs were no bigger than small dogs. The smallest

Creation v. Evolution: Did Dinosaurs Really Die Millions Of Years Ago? Evolutionary scientists say that dinosaurs died millions of years before man had evolved. But does the evidence support that? Could they not have lived alongside man, as so many ancient stories suggest? From the unfossilized T-Rex bone to the stories of encounters with dragons to Mokele-Mbembe in Africa are some of the pieces of evidence that support this view that goes along with the Creationist model of a Young Earth of approximately

Part A: What are Dinosaurs? Dinosaurs are land-dwelling reptiles that once roamed the Earth and the word comes from a Greek word that means "terrible lizard".

Dinosaurs limbs support them from beneath, (like a horse), while modern-day reptiles (such as crocodiles and lizards) limbs come out from the sides. Dinosaur are a diverse species ranging in different shapes and sizes and were able to survive in a variety
