7.  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

8.  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

9.  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

17.  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

18.  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 440-880 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.
