1. Dinosaurs: Back from the Grave
Stephanie Baumgart

2. Rock Cycle 3 types of rock: Igneous Sedimentary Metamorphic
volcanic rock
Sedimentary
compacted rock
Metamorphic
deformed, changing rock
Igneous – volcanic origins
Sedimentary – compacted rock
Metamorphic – deformed, changing rock

3. Journey to the Center of the Earth
Just over 4000 miles to the center of the earth:
Crust
5-25 miles thick
Mantle
1800 miles thick
Solid rock – hotter rock moves towards the surface, cooler rock sinks towards the core
Outer Core
1400 miles thick
Liquid iron, flows around
Generates magnetic field
Inner Core
800 miles thick
Solid iron, very hot (4700o C)

4. Plate Tectonics – The Land Moves!
The ground you’re sitting on is moving about 1.15 cm per year
Pangea
supercontinent 300 million years ago
Land masses join and split and join again
Next supercontinent in 250 million years

5. Fossilization: How do you become a fossil?
Go die in the water – a calm riverbend or out in the deep sea are your best options
Eventually, your soft tissue will deteriorate and you will be buried by sediment as the water flows by
As time goes by, the sediment will solidify and turn to rock, minerals in the sediment will turn your bones into rocks, more layers will cover you over the course of millions of years
The earth shifts, uncovers a couple of your bones, and someone may find you

7. Ornithischia Thyreophorans Armored dinosaurs
Ex: Ankylosaurus, Stegosaurus
Bird-hipped dinosaurs
Herbivores (Plant-eaters)
Spend most of their time on four legs; when they run, they can run on two legs
Ornithopods
Bird-like dinosaurs
Ex: Iguanodon, Pachycephalosaurus
Marginocephalians
Frilled dinosaurs
Ex: Protoceratops, Triceratops

8. Saurischia Lizard-hipped dinosaurs Sauropods Long-necked dinosaurs
Largest animals to roam the earth
Four-legged
Ex: Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus
Theropods
Mostly carnivores
Two-legged
A branch of theropods evolved into birds
Ex: Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor
