Dinosaur

A Similarity can be seen Through Another Form The book Jurassic park by Michael Crichton includes many similarities from the movie of Steven Spielberg making it almost the same. But not only the movie itself is comparable to the book, but instead the books that we’ve read in school. I will be discussing the connection of the books that we have read to the book Jurassic park by Michael Crichton. To begin, a book that can be compared with Jurassic Park would be Fahrenheit 451 by the author Ray…

Sound Of Thunder” Everyone dreams of going back in time and experiencing the past, but is it really worth it? “A Sound of Thunder,” by Ray Bradbury, is an intriguing science fiction short story that brings us back to the past to experience the dinosaurs. The action and drama in this story really showed off the theme of the story. Ray Bradbury created a plot, conflict, and theme that made it over all a compelling read. The plot of “A Sound of Thunder” is a thrilling adventure of time travel…

New fossil evidence suggests that dinosaurs originated early in the Middle Triassic time period, during the recovery of life from the Permian-Triassic mass extinction (Benton et al. 2014). Transient episodes of unusually warm and wet conditions, interrupting long periods of cool and dry conditions, may have played a role in mass extinctions and long-term evolutionary trends (Retallack 2013). Although the Permo-Triassic mass extinction wiped out nearly 85% of species, the crises marked the…

When i was six years old i loved dinosaurs so much and to this day i still do. the reason i tell you this is because i would like to be an archaeologist when I have always loved the movie Jurassic park. When ever I went to my grandmothers house we would walk across the creek to look for fossils, and I always loved the way dinosaurs looked i think they look like giant man eating lizards to some people that's weird but to me its not. When I first saw the movie Jurassic park that's when it all…

get to the next vegetation area as well. The sauropods ' bodies were also used to scare off predators along with their big tails. The downside of having a huge body is that the Dinosaur must 've had a rapid growth. Rapid growth mean that the dinosaurs generate a lot of body heat. Their long neck and tail give the dinosaur more body surface…

Sauropoda For my dinosaur, I chose to research the Sauropoda. According to scientists, the Sauropoda was thought to be alive during the late Triassic period, which was roughly 65 million years ago. As a result of scientist’s theories, they believe that the Sauropoda was killed of at some point during the cretaceous period. Sauropoda means,”Lizard footed”. Because scientist have found more and more information about these dinosaurs, they are still coming up with different theories. The…

event that caused a great mass extinction of over 90% of the earth’s species. It did however have some advantages. Those species that did survive repopulated the planet and created new creatures such as rodent-sized mammals and even the very first dinosaurs.…

“God creates dinosaurs, god kills dinosaurs, god creates man, man kills god, man brings back dinosaurs.” These words were written by author Michael Crichton about his book Jurassic Park. Crichton wrote many popular books throughout his lifetime. Michael Crichton’s writings were influenced by medical school and the science in his life. His use of symbols, foreshadowing and theme shows how he fits in the science fiction and thriller genres of American Literature. One of the major impacts on…

outlooks. In this project I show the teams who I support , a deep connection due to past personal experiences. The “Rise of the Tyrannosaurs” relates to me and once again brings back the memories I hold so deeply. I always loved the old T. Rex and dinosaurs in general, so much so that my Gaga (grandmother in Native American) gifted to me a collection of books that acted as an encyclopedia…

new scientific discoveries today. It all begins in northern China, where amidst the country's rich, volcanic conditions for fossil-finding, Professor Sun Ge and his team first unearth the Archaefructus fossil from an ancient lake in a region where dinosaurs once roamed. Sun Ge brings his amazing find to paleobotanist David Dilcher at the University of Florida, who has been hunting for a fossil like this his entire life. There were many evidence used in the film to determine the evolutionary…
