Greek and Chinese civilizations were what gave rise to legends of griffins, dragons and other monstrous lore. With every new discovery there have been great leaps made in understanding the dinosaurs. 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…
Tyrannosaurus Rex, often abbreviated to T. Rex, was a dinosaur that lived 67 to 66 million years ago with fossils being dating back to the Maastrichtian age of the earlier Cretaceous Period. Tyrannosaurus Rex, meaning "King of the Tyrant Lizards" in Latin, lived in what now is western North America, which then was an island continent named Laramidia. It was among the last flightless dinosaurs to exist before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. By far the largest meat-eater in its…

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…

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…
Now, we have found information that leads us to suggest that Triceratops traveled in small groups, rather than large herds. We think this because no large bone beds have been found of Triceratops and that leads us to believe that there were not many traveling in a group together. There has also been speculation as to what the Triceratops ate. They are considered to be herbivores but many say that they could have been meat eaters because their teeth and beak have been shown to be ideal for eating…
