Dinosaurs Alive! DINOSAURS ALIVE! A 3-D LARGE-FORMAT FILM A Production Of DAVID CLARK INC. GIANT SCREEN FILMS MARYLAND SCIENCE CENTER STARDUST BLUE LLC In Association With AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY and HUGO PRODUCTIONS Narrated By MICHAEL DOUGLAS Final Script 4/4/07 Written by David Clark & Bayley Silleck CGI #1 Fighting Dinosaurs FADE UP on the eroded slope of a semi-vegetated sand dune in the Gobi Desert. The sky, full of menacing clouds, heralds an approaching storm. Sand is blowing. A small, four-legged, crested dinosaur – an herbivorous Protoceratops – ambles into view, looks about for food. Suddenly, from the top of the dune, a carnivorous Velociraptor leaps through the air and lands on the Proto’s back. The shrieking Proto takes off, runs out of frame. Locked in mortal combat, the dinosaurs plunge downhill toward us, getting larger and larger in 3D space. All at once the Proto stops, plants its forelegs in the sand, and throws the Velo off its back. The Velo attacks again, striking at the Proto’s neck and belly with its forelimb claws. The Proto retaliates by seizing the Velo’s neck in its hook-like beak and snapping down hard, then seizes the dangerous forelimb of the Velo in its mouth. Now the dinosaurs are right in our laps, the Proto on top and the Velo on its back, screeching at its adversary, as it sinks one of its toe-claws into the Proto’s belly. Both dinosaurs are fatally wounded. The action FREEZES on their deadly embrace. DISSOLVE to: Interior of Mongolian Museum of Natural History. Eighty million years have passed. The dinos’ entwined bodies are now perfectly preserved skeletons. The camera rises high over the fossils, and looks down on the two ancient adversaries. NARRATOR Eighty million years ago, two dinosaurs - - a crested Protoceratops and a sharp-clawed Velociraptor, fought to the death. Somehow, as they died in the sands of the Gobi Desert, their battle was frozen in time - - the Velociraptor flat on its back, its clawed arm caught in the jaws of the Protoceratops. DISSOLVE to: Close TRACKING shot past the skeletons, showing the supine Velo’s toe-claw stuck in the Proto’s belly and its forearm caught in the Proto’s jaws. An extraordinary fossil. A mysterious glimpse of life and death in the Age of Dinosaurs. DISSOLVE to: High-angle close shot: Wind blows the sand away to reveal what at first appears to be a fossil, but is then revealed as two words carved in stone. The title then lifts from the sandy matrix and grows larger in the blackness of 3D space. DINOSAURS ALIVE Once again we hear the screeching sound of the aggressive Velociraptor. Suddenly, the Velociraptor‟s clawed hand appears out of the dark background and smashes the Main Title logo to pieces; broken letters fly out into the audience. CUT to: Interior, American Museum of Natural History, Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs. TRACK IN on the horned and frilled head of Triceratops. NARRATOR For more than 150 million years, dinosaurs roamed every corner of the planet. Only a very few left evidence of their existence - - their fossilized bones. CRANE along the spine of Stegosaurus, with its distinctive dorsal plates slicing though 3-D space. Below, we see its dangerous-looking tail spikes. And those bones never cease to fascinate us. DINOSAURS ALIVE Final Script 4/4/07 2 CRANE down from hip of Tyrannosaurus rex to legs and feet. Dinosaurs came in amazing shapes and sizes. Some were the largest animals ever to walk the Earth. CRANE into T. rex jaws, with its awesome, curved teeth. Paleontologists – the scientists who study prehistoric life… Tilt down from head of T. rex to awed visitors staring at its massive body and skull. In the background is a gigantic Apatosaurus. … are discovering more dinosaurs now than ever before. And this fossil evidence is allowing them to reconstruct not only their strange skeletons, but also their lives. CUT to: Interior of New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. We CRANE UP from a Stegosaurus to reveal a gigantic skeleton of a Sauropod, filling the entire hall. An example is this gigantic long-necked, plant-eater known as Seismosaurus. Found in New Mexico it lived during the Jurassic Period, 150 million years ago, when many dinosaurs grew to unprecedented size. CRANE from close-up of the creature’s head, down its long neck vertebrae and into its massive rib cage. Seismosaurus means “earth-shaking lizard,” and there‟s no doubt that its footsteps echoed across the Jurassic landscape. Measuring 110 feet from nose to tail, it is one of the longest dinosaurs ever discovered. Strangely, when it was excavated, some 240 smooth, round stones were found in and around its huge stomach cavity. CGI #6 Seismosaurus An enormous Seismosaurus head comes into frame, bends down, and picks up some stones in its mouth. The camera pulls back and we see in the background, two smaller Seismosaurus walking and feeding. Some scientists believe Seismosaurus swallowed stones to help its digestion. Wide low-angle shot of Seismosaurus crossing a rocky riverbed toward a stand of trees, as a small flock of pterosaurs circle around it. The dinosaur approaches a couple of trees as its gigantic feet come uncomfortably close to the camera. Others say that finding the stones was a coincidence, that they were part of a riverbed where Seismosaurus was found. Medium-close shot of the vast expanse of Seismo’s back. Two pterosaurs fly into frame and we follow them, over the huge dino’s back and up its incredibly long neck to its relatively small head. With its rake- like teeth, Seismo strips foliage from a tree, and then turns toward camera, giving us an intimate close-up of this great herbivore. Seismosaurus weighed over 30 tons - - as much as eight elephants, and must have consumed hundreds of pounds of vegetation every day. Ground -level wide shot of the wide riverbed, fringed with evergreen trees. The Seismosaurus moves away from camera and, having eaten well, leaves a prodigious dump. DINOSAURS ALIVE Final Script 4/4/07 3 Sometimes scientists can even learn what dinosaurs ate, from clues they left behind… in their fossilized dung. CUT back to: Interior, New Mexico Museum. Crane shot moving back from the Seismo’s spacious rib cage and along its tail vertebrae. Dinosaurs were first discovered in Europe and America, but in the Twentieth Century scientific explorers struck out for the most remote corners of the Earth… Wide shot of mounted Daspletosaurus skeleton which seems to be attempting an attack on the much larger Seismosaurus. Crane down rapidly to the carnivore’s wide-open jaws and sharp teeth. …and the full extent of the dinosaur kingdom began to be revealed.

CUT TO: A camel caravan crossing the Gobi sand dunes. Beneath sands that camel caravans traversed for centuries, lay a vast treasure trove of fossils, undisturbed for more than 70 million years that would forever change our view of dinosaur life.

It differs from other oviraptorids in the skull having a well-developed crest, the anterior margin of which is nearly vertical, and the dorsal margin of the skull and the anterior margin of the crest form nearly 90°; the nasal process of the premaxilla being less exposed on the dorsal surface of the skull than those in other known oviraptorids; the length of the frontal being approximately one fourth that of the parietal along the midline of the skull.

Biologist or Paleontologist? Scientists who study living things (biologists) often observe animals to learn about them. If they are working in the field, they might even see different animal signs (nests with eggs, footprints, or poop) that help them to better understand the animal they are studying. Scientists who study dinosaurs (paleontologists) learn about the animals by studying body or trace fossil clues. They sometimes use knowledge of today’s animals to help them understand the dinosaurs. Identify whether you think the following statements describe the work of a biologist or a paleontologist. Can you explain “why” to someone? 1. The scientist dissected the owl pellet to see what it had eaten. 2. The scientist discovered that the round-looking rock was fossilized poop (coprolite) containing bits of bone from a plant-eating dinosaur. 3. In 2011, scientists found several dinosaur feathers trapped in amber. 4. In 2007, scientists found a duckbilled dinosaur that was so well preserved that even the skin had fossilized. 5.

  • American Museum Novitates
    AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES Number 3899, 44 pp. April 26, 2018 A Second Specimen of Citipati osmolskae Associated with a Nest of Eggs from Ukhaa Tolgod, Omnogov Aimag, Mongolia MARK A. NORELL,1, 2 AMY M. BALANOFF,1, 3 DANIEL E. BARTA,1, 2 AND GREGORY M. ERICKSON1, 4 ABSTRACT Adult dinosaurs preserved attending their nests in brooding positions are among the rarest vertebrate fossils. By far the most common occurrences are members of the dinosaur group Oviraptorosauria. The first finds of these were specimens recovered from the Djadokhta Forma- tion at the Mongolian locality of Ukhaa Tolgod and the Chinese locality of Bayan Mandahu. Since the initial discovery of these specimens, a few more occurrences of nesting oviraptors have been found at other Asian localities. Here we report on a second nesting oviraptorid specimen (IGM 100/1004) sitting in a brooding position atop a nest of eggs from Ukhaa Tolgod, Omnogov, Mongolia. This is a large specimen of the ubiquitous Ukhaa Tolgod taxon Citipati osmolskae. It is approximately 11% larger based on humeral length than the original Ukhaa Tolgod nesting Citipati osmolskae specimen (IGM 100/979), yet eggshell structure and egg arrangement are identical. No evidence for colonial breeding of these animals has been recovered. Reexamination of another “nesting” oviraptorosaur, the holotype of Oviraptor philoceratops (AMNH FARB 6517) indicates that in addition to the numerous partial eggs associated with the original skeleton that originally led to its referral as a protoceratopsian predator, there are the remains of a tiny theropod. This hind limb can be provisionally assigned to Oviraptoridae. It is thus at least possible that some of the eggs associated with the holotype had hatched and the perinates had not left the nest.

    Dear Explorer, Are you finding it increasingly difficult to truly get away? Whether it’s the incessant ping of a smartphone alerting us to every scrap of information to the expectation that business hours are now 24 hours, getting away from it all is seemingly impossible. Fear not, as there are still places left in the world where you can do precisely that, and Mongolia leads the pack. Mongolia is a place of untouched beauty, a wild land defined by its rugged terrain, vast expanse of blue sky and a fascinating culture rooted in ancient traditions. It is a place where a nomadic lifestyle reigns, serving as an antidote to our modern day. Simply put, it is a place of blissful quietude, a respite from the frenetic pace of quotidian anxieties. Here, in the southern stretch of Mongolia’s Gobi Desert, is where I chose to build the Three Camel Lodge. Three Camel Lodge is not a choice for the impatient traveler, but its remote location is precisely what makes it so special. It is the very essence of an escape, wrapping you in the serenity of its meditative atmosphere. There will be no ringing telephones or pinging messages. Perhaps nothing sums up the sentiment better than what my dear friend Pico Iyer wrote in The Art of Stillness: Adventures in Going Nowhere: “In an age of speed, I began to think, nothing could be more invigorating than going slow. In an age of distraction, nothing could feel more luxurious than paying attention. And in an age of constant movement, nothing is more urgent than sitting still.” Nearly 25 years ago, I founded Nomadic Expeditions to share Mongolia with travelers from around the world.
