Things he said to know Everything in Bold was thing he directly said The things not in bold are things that might help you or could be random things that I feel he might put on the test Also I would look through your book at the picture and just read over them and know what they are showing something he said to do The pictures on here said that they would appear on the test Define Paleontologist Someone who studies any aspect of Ancient organisms Paleobiology Study of ancient life This is a specimen named Scrotum humanum what is its actually form The Thighbone of the meat eating dinosaur you will see the picture on the test Giant human private part called Scrotum humanum But really it was the end of a dinosaurs Theropod thigh bone British anatomist Richard Owen took stock of all the crazy fossil giants being found in Europe know picture in 1842 designed them as a new group of reptiles the Dinosaura came along he figured out the name Dinosauria Dinosaur meaning Fearfully Great Reptiles What is a Dinosaur 1 Three of more sacral vertebrae fused backbone in hip region 2 Hands with 3 main fingers 3 Perforate acetabulae i e the hole where the thighbone attached goes all the way through the hip TEST QUESTION The diagnostic features of a dinosaur Are Three or more sacral vertebrae Perforate acetabula and Three main fingers Hip Structures were very important to tell what kind of dinosaur you have The real raptor from Jurassic Park 1964 John Ostrom discovered Deininychus When did Dinosaurs live Know the years 238 million years until 65 5 million years ago during what is called the Mesozoic Ear or the Age of Dinosaurs Who lived with the Dinosaurs Test question to do with the bolded part We have no credible evidence they were either amphibious or aquatic Loch ness monster is a Plesiosaurs Question to look like this The loch Ness Monster is supposed to be a Plesiosaur Fossils are any remains of ancient life for dinosaurs we tend to think solely of these as bones Trace fossils trace of fossils Some things Include dinosaur tracks eggs nests skins impressions able to tell what they looked like stomach stones called Gastroliths bite marks Coprolites dinosaur dung Where do we find dinosaurs Sedimentary Rocks Other rocks are kind but not really found in Metamorphic the least and from volcanos Georgia is the closest place you can find a dinosaur test question Said he would ask where is the closest place to find a dinosaur We don t find them in Florida Earliest dinosaurs were actually small and then became bigger later A major group of ornithischians was the Tyreophora Shield Bearers or armored dinosaurs this will be in your sheet packet for test boney armor on there back called osteoderms endocasts sediment that filled the the brain cavities of dinosaurs or from filling hollowed skull with latex we know the sizes of some dinosaur brains KNOW WHAT AN ENDOCAST IS Why are all the crazy theory s of these dinosaurs been going on Field that used to be a geology field and now for the fist time biologist are becoming apart of it What the question might look like from an Iclicker question he gave One of the main reasons for the crazy theories about what dinosaurs where doing with the various crest frills horns spikes clubs etc is that Traditionally paleontologists studied only geology Know the sheet will be given to you to help you look at the dinosaurs The Ornithischain group cerpapoda Thumb spiked iguanodonts The duck bill Armor Bird hips Beaks 3 sacral vertebrae 3 main fingers perforates acetabula We do not know the sex of any dinosaur Sexual Dimorphism one sex bigger than the other when you can tell a male from a female even though we don t know which is which Dinosaurs are land animals not swimming or tree animals Characteristic feather of Hardrosaurs was an extremely expanded duck like bill They also had dental batteries stacks of hundreds of teeth used up one after the other Tooth batteries are interesting in that they were self sharpening o The hard enamel was on one side of each tooth and created a wedge like wear pattern that kept the teeth continually sharp Coprolites dinosaurs make a lot of dung dinosaur doo doo Over splitting name a species that s not valid that don t really exist a name that has been changed multiple times Example of what it would be like for a test question What is oversplitting Naming ore species than there really are Because of this crazy theories about the aquatic function of the crest were posited They think it was used to go underwater and that long part was from them to breath but there wasn t a hole at the end if a test question comes up about something like this SAY NO that s what he said Know more about duck billed we find herds nesting grounds foot prints dried up ones and find bite marks so we have tons of evidence must likely all of they above type of answer 2 types of duck bill theory was underwater they didn t have a whole on top To the left of the Dinosaur tree they have Bird hips and Beaks which the right side does not Pachycephaloaurs are enigmatic groups Bowling ball like heads What was the domes used for o Structure for bumping o For flank butting like many mammals today the knobs are driven into the sides of rivals in o Head on butting or Flank butting Finite Element Models Computer model dissipations of force can be assessed Neoceratopsians Proteoceratops from Asia and most Famous o Lived in deserts environment and has been found buried in prehistoric o Sexual dimorphism differences that s you can tell between males and sand dunes females The Mythical Griffin perhaps not so mythical based on the dinosaur Ceratopsian Some think the pachyrhinosaur boss was for shoving matches others think it was the base for the largest horn ever Why is the Oviraptor named the egg stealer It was originally found on top of a nest though to belong to Protoceratops Saurichia largest animals to walk on this land The distinguishing feature of the saurischian dinosaur are A pubis that points forward like a lizard Long neck at least 1 3rd length of spinal column to the hip Diplodocids the longest dinosaurs and longest to ever live had low skulls and pencil shaped teeth Mamenchosaurus had an amazing 33 foot long neck Supersaurus and Seismosaurus are giant diplodocids but they are known only from a few bones they may have been 140 feet long What s the longest dinosaur ever Don t need to know the exact dinosaur but know that it is 140ft long He might ask Will it fit in the classroom
