 Group of reptiles: over 700 species  Alive over 160 million years ago ( Mesozoic Era) - Triassic Period ( million years ago) - Jurassic Period ( million years ago) - Cretaceous Period ( million years ago)  Faster than present reptiles  Descendants are birds Overview Slide Menu

Interactive Fossil Dig Slide Menu

 Popular Theory: Alvarez Hypothesis  Caused by an Asteroid  - 65 million years ago  Force of 100,000 billion tons of TNT  “ Impact Winter”  High Carbon Dioxide levels Died from lack of food and heat Why do they not exist today? Slide Menu

 Plant-eaters : leaves, twigs, and seeds  Stones?  Swallowed to ground food in stomach  Broad, flat teeth  worn down from grinding food  Low jointed jaws  Most dinosaurs Herbivores Slide Menu

 Meat eaters: dinosaurs, lizards, insects, and mammals  Long, Sharp, and Curved Teeth  - made to tear through meat  Teeth did not precisely meet Carnivores Slide Menu

 Argentinosaurus  - “ Sliver Lizard”  120 feet long; 70 feet tall  Herbivore  Weighed tons  - heaviest land animal ever lived  Could reach feet The Largest Dinosaur Slide Menu

 Seismosaurs [ Size-moe-Sore-us]  - “ Earth-shaking lizard”  110 feet long  - longer than a blue whale ( 100 ft.)  Herbivore  Front legs shorter than back legs  Weighed a 100 tons Longest Dinosaur Slide Menu

 Not the Tyrannosaurus Rex  Utahraptor  - discovered in Utah  6.5 meters long, 2 meters high  Weighed little over a ton  Carnivore  Hooked, slashing claw on each foot Fiercest Dinosaur Slide Menu

 Dromiceiomimus [ dro-MEE-see-o-MYE-mus]  - “ Emu Mimic”  Run up to 60 km per hour  feet long, 6-10 feet tall  Weighed lbs.  Herbivore and Carnivore  Long, slender legs with three toes Fastest dinosaur Slide Menu

 Brachiosaurus  - meaning ‘arm’ and ‘lizard’ in Greek  85 feet tall  Weighed metric tons  Herbivore  - Ate between pounds a day  Extremely long necks Tallest Dinosaur Slide Menu

 Lesothosaurus [ leh-SO-tho-Saw-rus]  - “ diagnostic Lesotho lizard”  3 feet long, 1 foot tall  Weighed 15 lbs.  - would be size of a chicken  Herbivore  Small and speedy Smallest Dinosaur Slide Menu

 Dinosaurs lived about 160 million years ago.  There have been over 700 different species identified.  There is not one for sure theory of how they died out, but the most accepted theory is due to an Asteroid.  The two main groups of dinosaurs were herbivores and carnivores.  The largest Dinosaur was the Agrentinosaurus weighing in at 110 tons. Summary Slide Menu

 The Longest Dinosaur was the Seismosaurus at 40 meters long.  The Fiercest Dinosaur was the Utahraptor equipped with a slashing claw on each foot.  The fastest dinosaur was the Dromiceimimus who could run up to 60 km a hour.  The tallest dinosaur, the Brachiosarus, was 85 feet tall and ate pounds of plants a day.  The smallest dinosaur was the Lesothsaurus, which would be the size of a chicken, with a height of 1 foot and a weight of 15 pounds.
