Yet there is one dinosaur in particular that has continued to captivate the imagination of children and paleontologist and that is the fierce Tyrannosaurus Rex. The purpose of the paper is to focus on the Tyrannosaurus Rex and to discuss three different topics about the monstrous creature that not many people know about them. The first topic will focus…

Not only was the dinosaur agile but was a…

One of the most famous fossils ever found was a velociraptor in the middle of a fight with a protoceratops. The first fossil of the velociraptor that was ever found was in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. It was discovered in 1922. Over the years the velociraptor has been portrayed as being the size of a man, but in reality it was only about the size of a turkey. “A member of the Dromaeosauridae family of small- to medium-sized birdlike dinosaurs, Velociraptor was roughly the size of a small turkey…

billion years were at the museum. We saw fossils of almost every species of dinosaur, plant, mammal, and even some of the earliest humans. Despite all of these displays, the one that stood out the most was Sue, the best preserved Tyrannosaurus rex fossil ever found. Staring up at this massive T-rex, you wouldn’t be able to fully understand the story behind Sue. Not only how it lived, but also the controversy that followed its discovery. Paleontologist Peter Larson understands the story of…

The following is a research proposal to explore the possibilities that the Tyrannosaurus rex was a migratory animal. Similar to how trees form annual growth rings- bones also have yearly indicators of growth. By comparing the oxygen isotope levels of each year indicator of the bone with isotopes of the surrounding areas we can see where the Tyrannosaurus rex may have traveled to throughout its life cycle. Assuming the oxygen isotope levels can be calculated for the areas of Interest, the bulk of…
