His use of symbols, foreshadowing and theme shows how he fits in the science fiction and thriller genres of American Literature.…
Scientists have recently discovered Dreadnought, a very large plant-eating dinosaur. Dreadnought is the world’s largest dinosaur measuring 85 feet wide and weighing in at 65 tons (130,000) pounds, It was 7x more massive than the Tyrannosaurus rex (T-rex). It was named after the first steel battleships. When discovered in Argentina the Dreadnought’s skeleton had 70% of its bones, making it one of the most complete dinosaur fossils to be found. Sadly the skull wasn’t preserved.…
Imagine having to give a presentation in class on a topic that is completely new to you. Your research consists only of typing the topic into Google and copying down the definition that pops up, and that is it. When you go to give your presentation, you put up a slide with only that definition on it. How well do you think that presentation will go? Probably not real great because the context is missing.…
"Monster is a relative word; to a canary, a cat is a monster. So far we humans were used to being cats." After the first three movies in the series, you might think that they would have learnt of their incapacity to contain a dinosaur – precisely the reason why Jurassic Park was shut down at the end of the third movie. Twenty-two years later, the park has been reopened, renamed and revamped. The theme park, dubbed Jurassic World, is now owned by Simon Masrani (Irrfan Khan) who has taken Hammond's dream of a dinosaur amusement park to a whole new level.…
In the new movie "Jurassic world" scientists created a hybrid dinosaur. A hybrid is an organism composed of different kinds of DNA, for example a mutt. The scientists added DNA from different organisms to create a tourist attraction like no other but they didn't realize there would be consequences. The "indominus Rex's" DNA is based off the DNA of a Tyrannosaurus rex. Tree frog genetics were then added to help it adjust to tropical climates however the indominus Rex picked up the ability to hide it's heat signature.…
New species of these dinosaurs had become more important. The most famous dinosaur of all, the Tyrannosaurus rex, finally came along during the end of the Mesozoic Era. It walked on two legs so it is a theropod. All theropods were carnivorous. Sea animals and life in the sea was very like how it was in the Jurassic period.…
The creature that is being examined in this experiment is the now extinct Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, a dinosaur that lived in Northwestern Africa about 95 million years ago. The Spinosaurus (fig.1) was a creature that has been estimated to be anywhere from 13 to 18 meters (43 to 60) long, weighed 7 to 9 tonnes (8-10 tons), and is agreed to be by most paleontologists the largest carnivorous dinosaur of all time. It is thought to be a piscivore, although the Spinosaurus’ diet and lifestyle is very controversial. It was named in 1915 by the German paleontologist Ernst Stromer. It lived in North Africa, from the Bahariya Formation in Egypt to the Kem Kem Formation in Morocco.…
Sentest believe that dinosaurs died of three things which is Ice age, meteors, diseases. One of the main thing scientist think killed the dinosaurs was meteors because of how they hit earth and In North America, a towering tsunami buried plants and animals alike under thick piles of rubble. Lofted debris darkened skies around the world. The planet chilled — and stayed that way for years.…

The White River Badlands, located in South Dakota, are a national park known for its heavily eroded land and a harsh train that has been developing for millions of years. This has led the land to develop greatly over time, along with encapsulating different species that lived in the land over the years. These species, over time, have been engraved in the stone, leading it contain and immense amount of paleontological aspects. Because of this, Badlands national park has been considered the birthplace of vertebrate paleontology. (nature.nps.gov) Paleontology, which is the study of ancient life, focuses on, but is not exclusively to, the study of fossils.…
Paleontology professors have a very wide subject area to cover when delivering information to students, ranging from dinosaur bones to evolution, prehistoric life, and even the fossils of invertebrates and plants. Professors spend a portion of their valued timed in classrooms and lecture halls teaching at hundreds of universities across the country and even the world. When in the classroom professors teach their students the basic information needed to have a successful career. Background knowledge can help make or break a career. It is important that if you decide on your career path in high school you take the proper steps to further your education in that area.…
This year was a pretty great year because I got to discover the world of high school. Although there were ups and downs overall it was great. Fossil was very welcoming at the beginning of the year. This was the craziest year of school I have ever encountered. Freshman year helped in many ways.…
These natural scientists include, paleontologists, geologists, and astrologists whose studies focus on things…
What was the motivation that led to the discovery? The motivation behind the understanding of fossils is wanting to know the history and evolution of this world. The evidence found in fossils shows how old life is and when it lived and how it changed. All these evidences and clues coming from fossils show us answers about the past and answers to other question that may generate about the past.…
