These Heavy-bodied and stoutly limbed Rajasaurus was a carnivorous abelisaurid (theropod) dinosaur, inhabiting the environs of present Why Rajasurus is unique?

Rajasaurus is unique in the sense as it has been found only in India so far. From a collection of 33 bones, including braincase, vertebrae, jaw, limbs, tail bone, etc. the morphological details regarding the size and form of Rajasaurus have been conceived. Rajasaurus appears to be a stocky dinosaur with an unusual head crest. From the heavy weight of the it can be concluded that the dinosaur was probably a heavy-meat- eating carnivorous The Rajasaurus was about 30-feet-long with its unusually long horn and a strong exterior face suggesting that it use to used its head to pound its prey and eat it. Interesting, its teeth, are much smaller than those found in other dinosaurs. To ensure its princely appearance, Rajasaurus narmadensis was crowned with a doublecrested horn on its forehead. Considering the giant size of it, the name given is Rajasaurus Narmadensis, which means regal reptile from Narmada. A view of Geology gallery of Punjab University Its specific name, originating from Narmada (Narmada , 6 crores and 70 lac ago. It is therefore aptly River), denotes its habitat environs, stretching from named as R.narmadensis. Its body measured some 9 m in length Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh to Kheda in Gujarat, all and 3 m in height. The heighest point in its body was in the along the length of the Narmada River The evidence suggests that it was 67-million year old. (The sediments yielding the fossil remains of Rajasaurus are dated 67 million year) If so, then Rajasaurus may appear towards the extreme end of the era of dinosaurs and had moved through the entire Narmada valley, before the emergence of the Himalayas on the Indian subcontinent. The carnivorous Rajasaurus, which lived in the Period at the end of the dinosaur age, preyed on long-necked titanosaur sauropods, herbivorous dinosaurs that also roamed the Narmada region. Bones from both dinosaurs were found together. Indian paleontologists recently found (fossilized dung) that provide additional clues to the diet of those titanosaurs.

A close ancestral affinity of Rajasaurus is period of quiescence between the eruption of two successive flows. During such quiescent periods the ground surface upon the latest flow developed into usual land scenery with rivers, lakes, ponds, etc., with abundant vegetation. Rajasaurus habited such an environ in the quiet phases of the Deccan volcanic activity. On death its skeletal remains were deposited along with the deposits of the rivers and the lakes. The contemporaneous dinosaur community of the meat-eating Rajasaurus also included some herbivorous sauropod dinosaurs, which are yet to be fully known. The successively next Deccan volcanic eruption quickly burried the dinosaurian remains in the sediments, leading to their good preservation as fossils. The fossil bones of Rajasaurus are found at Rahioli (Gujarat) and in the headward region of Age and phyllogeny of Rajasaurus narmadensis Narmada at Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh). discernible with Majungatholus of Madagascar and of South America. Rajasaurus was in all probabilty a contemporary of the well-known Tyrannosaurus rex of the North American continent, although the two never met.

Which month has larger and smaller day time?

As part of International Year of Astronomy 2009, from the month of January 2009, we are starting a new column “Astronomy Activity”. Through this column we will be suggesting for your club some hands-on activities based on observation. Each activity can be undertaken in group. It is strongly recommended that each group should follow the procedure as given to come up with their findings. For doing these activities you need to be slightly patient as these activities may take a few days to month or even a whole year. We hope you all enjoy doing these activities and come up with some interesting results. Do not forget to write us back your findings in a report form. The best reports of selected clubs for each activity may get a surprise gift from VIPNET News. Wish you a Happy New Year of Astronomy (IYA 2009)

Problem: Which month has larger and smaller day time? Aim: Finding out which month has larger and smaller duration of day in the Year 2006. Format for Observation Table Tools: Wall calendar mentioning sunrise and sunset time.

Procedure: To do the experiment fallow the below procedure.

1. Get the calendar which shows sunrise and sunset time for each day of the year.

2. Fill the observation table with the time of Sunrise and Sunset.

Theory: There are countable reasons for larger and smaller duration of the day and night. Some of them are: (i) Earth rotate on its axis (ii) Earth’s axis of rotation is not exactly vertical (iii) Earth is spherical in shape and hence observers position on the globe is not same for all etc. All these reasons give rise to the difference in length of the day and night.
