Tyrannosaurus

2015 seems to be the year for dinosaurs, what with the release of ‘Jurassic World’ earlier and now ‘The Good Dinosaur’. While ‘Jurassic World’ focused on the havoc dinosaurs could create, this movie revolves around the life of a timid and clumsy dinosaur born in a small family of working dinosaurs. Directed by Peter Sohn, the movie features actors Raymond Ochoa, Jack Bright, Sam Elliott, Anna Paquin, and Steve Zahn in the voice over for the dinosaurs. In today’s world dinosaurs are extinct but

Max absolutely loved dinosaurs. His favorite things to do were; playing with his toy dinosaurs, watching them on the TV or at the cinema and reading about them in books. Max was really excited today though because today was the day that Mommy and Daddy were taking him for a trip on the train to the big museum. Mommy and Daddy had told Max that there would be so much to see and do at the museum, but the most interesting thing of all was that there was going to be the real-life skeleton of a T-Rex

After visiting the dinosaur museum in Price, Utah, my interest in fossils grew. I decided to use that area of Utah for my research this week. Near Price, Utah, there is an unusual amount of predatory dinosaur bones that have been found. Many dinosaurs have been discovered there. In fact, the Utah Raptor is what Spielberg used as a model for his Jurassic Park movies. When he wanted to use the raptor in his film, many scientists laughed at him. There was no way that a raptor would be big enough to

1. Sedimentary rocks are made from different pieces of rocks and sediments. This happened through the process of erosion and weathering. Every now and then animals get buried under sediments and formed with the rock. As the tissues decay, the bone stay preserved in the rock because of the carbon that release from the corpse. Sedimentary rocks can tell scientists about the fossil's habitat by the size and formation of the rock. For example, one direction ripple marks indicate that the rock formed

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

Ever since I first say the original version of Disney's Fantasia, I was astounded by the way certain pieces of music were able to communicate such complex and wonderful pictures. Like most children, I was always fascinated by prehistoric life the large and powerful dinosaurs living in a primitive world so alien to our own. As I grew up, I tried to read everything I possibly could about that primitive world, and when I combined that interest with the visuals and music in Fantasia, began to wonder

The Dinosaur Diamond, or as it is officially known, the Dinosaur Diamond Scenic and Historic Byway, is not the kind of excursion you take in just one day. This 512-mile loop is located in Western Colorado with parts extending into neighboring Utah, where it is called the Dinosaur Diamond Prehistoric Highway. The diamond offers opportunities for history buffs, science nuts and dinosaur lovers of all ages. The diamond starts on Interstate 70 in Grand Junction, the largest city in western Colorado

“Dinosaurs. Earth shakers and plunderers. Killing machines. The original experts in martial arts.” – (The Dinosaurs: The Monsters Emerge, PBS, 1992.) Most people, especially kids, know dinosaurs as big movie monsters and hostile creatures for the good guys to fight. But I never possessed that interest. My attraction came from the fact that these “alien” creatures beyond any human imagination were real animals that actually lived on this planet. That animals such as Therizinosaurus, Deinocheirus

On Sunday, February 7, I went to the Sam Nobel Art Museum for the first time with one of my friends, and we were both surprised at how much we enjoyed our time there. Its not that we went in expecting not to have a good experience we just expected it to be “ok”. We walked in confused at where to go, we wondered for a few minuets before going through the second set of doors leading us into the main exhibits. Our first visit was to the dinosaurs followed by the native American art exhibit. Upon entering

Jurassic Park In 1993, the movie Jurassic Park was released and in the story John Hammond brings back dinosaurs, a race that had become extinct years ago, and his reason to bring these animals back from extinction, was just to make an amusement park. The movie starts off with a man being eaten by one of these dinosaurs, but the theme starts when two archaeologists, Dr. Allen and Sattler are digging up the bones of an extinct dinosaur, this is where Hammond arrives to propose the idea of the amusement
