FIND out ABOUT DINOSAURS Read the Article About Dinosaurs with Your Child FIND OUT ABOUT DINOSAURS Read the article about dinosaurs with your child. Look at the pictures and talk about the amazing facts about dinosaurs. Look up information about more dinosaurs together. Super big, super old! The word dinosaur means terrible lizard even though dinosaurs were not lizards. Long ago, dinosaurs of all sizes roamed all over the earth. Some dinosaurs were much bigger and taller than elephants and could reach to the top of huge trees and others were as small as chickens. All dinosaurs belonged to the reptile family and laid eggs. Some dinosaurs were carnivores (meat eaters) with long sharp teeth to tear at meat as they ate animals and other dinosaurs. Other dinosaurs were plant eaters and had flat blunt teeth to eat the leaves of plants. Something terrible happened that killed all the dinosaurs. Today we only know about them from their fossils (remains of skeletons found in rocks) so we don’t know what their bodies (skin, muscles and insides) were like or why they all died. Brachiosaurus Brachiosaurus was a giant plant eating dinosaur with a very long neck. It was the largest animal to ever live on earth. It weighed 40,000 kilos and was as long as five big elephants standing in a line and as tall as a four story building. It once lived in Tanzania as some fossils were found there. You can see a herd of Brachiosaurus peacefully grazing in the movie Jurassic Park. AT HOME GAMES & ACTIVITIES Tyrannosaurus Rex The Tyrannosaurus Rex was the most feared kind of meat-eating dinosaur. Tyrannosaurus Rex was the best known and most fierce dinosaur that lived about 66 million years ago. Fossils have been found in North America. The fossils and other remains have told scientists a lot about Tyrannosaurus Rex. It walked on two legs, had a huge head with the biggest teeth of any dinosaur and a long heavy tail. No Tyrannosaurus eggs have been found but they must have been too large for the mother to sit on. When Tyrannosaurus Rex was fully grown it was tall enough to look into an upstairs window. Pentaceratops Pentaceratops had the largest head of any dinosaur. Look at the enormous bony frill on its head. The two big horns are above its eyes and the very small horn is on its snout. It was about the size and weight of a car. Pentaceratops ate plants. Stegosaurus Even though Stegosaurus was about the size of a bus, its brain was as small as a golf ball. The spiky plates on its back were a metre high and the spikes on its tail were very sharp. Stegosaurus ate plants.

A review of studies of sexual dimorphism in the vertebrate fossil record revealed methods that were selected for use in ceratopsids. Mountain goats, bison, and pronghorn were selected as exemplar taxa for a proof of principle study that tested the selected methods, and informed and guided the investigation of sexual dimorphism in dinosaurs. Skulls of these exemplar taxa were measured in museum collections, and methods of analysing morphological variation were tested for their ability to demonstrate sexual dimorphism in their horns and horncores.

  • Competition Structured a Late Cretaceous Megaherbivorous Dinosaur Assemblage Jordan C
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Competition structured a Late Cretaceous megaherbivorous dinosaur assemblage Jordan C. Mallon 1,2 Modern megaherbivore community richness is limited by bottom-up controls, such as resource limitation and resultant dietary competition. However, the extent to which these same controls impacted the richness of fossil megaherbivore communities is poorly understood. The present study investigates the matter with reference to the megaherbivorous dinosaur assemblage from the middle to upper Campanian Dinosaur Park Formation of Alberta, Canada. Using a meta-analysis of 21 ecomorphological variables measured across 14 genera, contemporaneous taxa are demonstrably well-separated in ecomorphospace at the family/subfamily level. Moreover, this pattern is persistent through the approximately 1.5 Myr timespan of the formation, despite continual species turnover, indicative of underlying structural principles imposed by long-term ecological competition. After considering the implications of ecomorphology for megaherbivorous dinosaur diet, it is concluded that competition structured comparable megaherbivorous dinosaur communities throughout the Late Cretaceous of western North America. Te question of which mechanisms regulate species coexistence is fundamental to understanding the evolution of biodiversity1. Te standing diversity (richness) of extant megaherbivore (herbivores weighing ≥1,000 kg) com- munities appears to be mainly regulated by bottom-up controls2–4 as these animals are virtually invulnerable to top-down down processes (e.g., predation) when fully grown. Tus, while the young may occasionally succumb to predation, fully-grown African elephants (Loxodonta africana), rhinoceroses (Ceratotherium simum and Diceros bicornis), hippopotamuses (Hippopotamus amphibius), and girafes (Girafa camelopardalis) are rarely targeted by predators, and ofen show indiference to their presence in the wild5.

  • Body-Size Evolution in the Dinosauria
    8 Body-Size Evolution in the Dinosauria Matthew T. Carrano Introduction The evolution of body size and its influence on organismal biology have received scientific attention since the earliest decades of evolutionary study (e.g., Cope, 1887, 1896; Thompson, 1917). Both paleontologists and neontologists have attempted to determine correlations between body size and numerous aspects of life history, with the ultimate goal of docu- menting both the predictive and causal connections involved (LaBarbera, 1986, 1989). These studies have generated an appreciation for the thor- oughgoing interrelationships between body size and nearly every sig- nificant facet of organismal biology, including metabolism (Lindstedt & Calder, 1981; Schmidt-Nielsen, 1984; McNab, 1989), population ecology (Damuth, 1981; Juanes, 1986; Gittleman & Purvis, 1998), locomotion (Mc- Mahon, 1975; Biewener, 1989; Alexander, 1996), and reproduction (Alex- ander, 1996). An enduring focus of these studies has been Cope’s Rule, the notion that body size tends to increase over time within lineages (Kurtén, 1953; Stanley, 1973; Polly, 1998). Such an observation has been made regarding many different clades but has been examined specifically in only a few (MacFadden, 1986; Arnold et al., 1995; Jablonski, 1996, 1997; Trammer & Kaim, 1997, 1999; Alroy, 1998). The discordant results of such analyses have underscored two points: (1) Cope’s Rule does not apply universally to all groups; and (2) even when present, size increases in different clades may reflect very different underlying processes. Thus, the question, “does Cope’s Rule exist?” is better parsed into two questions: “to which groups does Cope’s Rule apply?” and “what process is responsible for it in each?” Several recent works (McShea, 1994, 2000; Jablonski, 1997; Alroy, 1998, 2000a, 2000b) have begun to address these more specific questions, attempting to quantify patterns of body-size evolution in a phylogenetic (rather than strictly temporal) context, as well as developing methods for interpreting the resultant patterns.

  • Raptors in Action 1 Suggested Pre-Visit Activities
    PROGRAM OVERVIEW TOPIC: Small theropods commonly known as “raptors.” THEME: Explore the adaptations that made raptors unique and successful, like claws, intelligence, vision, speed, and hollow bones. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Razor-sharp teeth and sickle-like claws are just a few of the characteristics that have made raptors famous. Working in groups, students will build a working model of a raptor leg and then bring it to life while competing in a relay race that simulates the hunting techniques of these carnivorous animals. AUDIENCE: Grades 3–6 CURRICULUM CONNECTIONS: Grade 3 Science: Building with a Variety of Materials Grade 3–6 Math: Patterns and Relations Grade 4 Science: Building Devices and Vehicles that Move Grade 6 Science: Evidence and Investigation PROGRAM ObJECTIVES: 1. Students will understand the adaptations that contributed to the success of small theropods. 2. Students will explore the function of the muscles used in vertebrate movement and the mechanics of how a raptor leg works. 3. Students will understand the function of the raptorial claw. 4. Students will discover connections between small theropod dinosaurs and birds. SUGGESTED PRE-VISIT ACTIVITIES UNDERstANDING CLADIstICS Animals and plants are often referred to as part of a family or group. For example, the dog is part of the canine family (along with wolves, coyotes, foxes, etc.). Scientists group living things together based on relationships to gain insight into where they came from. This helps us identify common ancestors of different organisms. This method of grouping is called “cladistics.” Cladistics is a system that uses branches like a family tree to show how organisms are related to one another.

  • A New Centrosaurine from the Late Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada, and the Evolution of Parietal Ornamentation in Horned Dinosaurs
    A new centrosaurine from the Late Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada, and the evolution of parietal ornamentation in horned dinosaurs ANDREW A. FARKE, MICHAEL J. RYAN, PAUL M. BARRETT, DARREN H. TANKE, DENNIS R. BRAMAN, MARK A. LOEWEN, and MARK R. GRAHAM Farke, A.A., Ryan, M.J., Barrett, P.M., Tanke, D.H., Braman, D.R., Loewen, M.A., and Graham, M.R. 2011. A new centrosaurine from the Late Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada, and the evolution of parietal ornamentation in horned dino− saurs. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 56 (4): 691–702. In 1916, a centrosaurine dinosaur bonebed was excavated within the Campanian−aged deposits of what is now Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada. Specimens from this now−lost quarry, including two parietals, a squamosal, a skull missing the frill, and an incomplete dentary, were purchased by The Natural History Museum, London. The material was recently reprepared and identified herein as a previously unknown taxon, Spinops sternbergorum gen. et sp. nov. Based upon the available locality data and paleopalynology, the quarry lies in either the upper part of the Oldman Formation or the lower part of the Dinosaur Park Formation. The facial region of the partial skull is similar to putative mature speci− mens of Centrosaurus spp. and Styracosaurus albertensis, with short, rounded postorbital horncores and a large, erect na− sal horncore. Parietal ornamentation is consistent on both known parietals and is unique among ceratopsids. Bilateral, procurved parietal hooks occupy the P1 (medial−most) position on the dorsal surface of the parietal and are very similar to those seen in Centrosaurus apertus.

  • Transitional Evolutionary Forms in Chasmosaurine Ceratopsid Dinosaurs: Evidence from the Campanian of New Mexico
    Transitional evolutionary forms in chasmosaurine ceratopsid dinosaurs: evidence from the Campanian of New Mexico Denver W. Fowler1,2 and Elizabeth A. Freedman Fowler1,2,3 1 Badlands Dinosaur Museum, Dickinson Museum Center, Dickinson, ND, USA 2 Museum of the Rockies, Montana State University, Bozeman, MT, USA 3 Department of Natural Sciences, Dickinson State University, Dickinson, ND, USA ABSTRACT Three new chasmosaurines from the Kirtland Formation (~75.0–73.4 Ma), New Mexico, form morphological and stratigraphic intermediates between Pentaceratops (~74.7–75 Ma, Fruitland Formation, New Mexico) and Anchiceratops (~72–71 Ma, Horseshoe Canyon Formation, Alberta). The new specimens exhibit gradual enclosure of the parietal embayment that characterizes Pentaceratops, providing support for the phylogenetic hypothesis that Pentaceratops and Anchiceratops are closely related. This stepwise change of morphologic characters observed in chasmosaurine taxa that do not overlap stratigraphically is supportive of evolution by anagenesis. Recently published hypotheses that place Pentaceratops and Anchiceratops into separate clades are not supported. This phylogenetic relationship demonstrates unrestricted movement of large-bodied taxa between hitherto purported northern and southern provinces in the late Campanian, weakening support for the hypothesis of extreme faunal provincialism in the Late Cretaceous Western Interior.

  • New Species of Dinosaur Discovered Lying Forgotten in a Museum 26 November 2014
    New species of dinosaur discovered lying forgotten in a museum 26 November 2014 Pentaceratops aquiloniua (Phys.org) —A palaeontologist from our University studying fossils that were kept in a museum in Canada for over 75 years has discovered a new species of dinosaur. Dr Nick Longrich from our University studied the fossilised bones of two horned dinosaurs from the ceratopsian family and found that they were in fact two previously unknown species. The findings reveal that the dinosaur species from this region were much more diverse than first thought. "We thought we had discovered most of the species, but it seems there are many undiscovered dinosaurs left," said Dr Nick Longrich from the University's Department of Biology & Biochemistry. "There are lots of species out there. We've really only just scratched the surface." Western North America hosted a remarkable diversity of dinosaurs during the Campanian period. One of the new species represents a new species Among the most diverse clades was the of Pentaceratops, named Pentaceratops Chasmosaurinae. Up until now, ten chasmosaur aquilonius. Pentaceratops, a smaller cousin of species have been recognised from the upper Triceratops, belong to the Chasmosaurinae, a Campanian of western North America, with distinct group of large, horned dinosaurs characterised by species occurring in the northern and southern long brow horns and elongate frills. Around the parts of the continent. size of a buffalo, they were a major group of plant eating dinosaurs in western North America at the The fossils studied by Longrich were previously end of the Cretaceous Period, around 75 million classified as Anchiceratops and Chasmosaurus, years ago.

This is one of many related papers that were included in the 2003 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.
