Extractions: Dinosaurs in Hawaii! For the first time in Hawaii , there is a unique, free, permanent exhibit of dinosaur fossils available for public viewing. These "fossils" are replicas from the originals at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, which boasts one of the finest and largest collections of dinosaur fossils in the world. HCC is providing Hawaii's students and interested community groups with an exciting look at the prehistoric natural history of the world by displaying the fossils of some of the largest terrestrial creatures that ever lived. Knowledgeable docents can give presentations geared to different age levels. Triceratops Skull Tyrannosaurus rex Head Tyrannosaurus rex Skull Tyrannosaurus rex Leg ...

Extractions: Few subjects in the Earth sciences are as fascinating to the public as dinosaurs. The study of dinosaurs stretches our imaginations, gives us new perspectives on time and space, and invites us to discover worlds very different from our modern Earth. From a scientific viewpoint, however, the study of dinosaurs is important both for understanding the causes of past major extinctions of land animals and for understanding the changes in biological diversity caused by previous geological and climatic changes of the Earth. These changes are still occurring today. A wealth of new information about dinosaurs has been learned over the past 30 years, and science's old ideas of dinosaurs as slow, clumsy beasts have been totally turned around. This pamphlet contains answers to some frequently asked questions about dinosaurs, with current ideas and evidence to correct some long-lived popular misconceptions. Although much has been discovered recently about dinosaurs, there is still a great deal more to learn about our planet and its ancient inhabitants. When did the first dinosaurs appear on Earth?

Extractions: Michael Skrepnick Dinosaurs occupy a vaunted niche in the public mind; the very word conjures up images of gargantuan, now-defunct beasts that ruled the Earth long ago, holding a reign of terror for some 160 million years, and then mysteriously vanishing with only their titanic bones as evidence of their existence. "Dinosaur" reaches deep into our psyche and drags out nightmares from culturally-embedded monster myths. What is the truth about dinosaurs that underlies the popular awe and mystique that shrouds them? What does modern science have to say about the dinosaurs? Are they truly obsolete, long-extinct relics of a more primitive and experimental stage in the history of life, or is there more to the Dinosauria than meets the eye? Dinosaurs are animals that evolved into many sizes and shapes. Dinosaurs were and are quite diverse, and often one person will think of an animal like a long-necked sauropod, while another person will think of a large, fierce meat-eater like Tyrannosaurus rex . It should be clear then that the term "dinosaurs", or the scientific version "Dinosauria", is describing a diverse group of animals with widely different modes of living. The term was invented by
Dinosaurs -- A Thematic Unit
From the Royall Tyrell Museum of Paleontology, unit adapted from Legacies Using Children's Literature in the Classroom
http://www.libsci.sc.edu/miller/Dinosaurs.htm

Extractions: Theme: Dinosaurs Focus: Students will explore prehistoric times to expand their knowledge of dinosaurs. Grade Level: Primary Objectives: On completion of this thematic unit, students will be able to: 1. Identify at least ten different dinosaurs and name them. 2. Explain the difference between plant-eating dinosaurs and meat-eating dinosaurs. 3. Explain how scientists know as much as they do about dinosaurs 4. Describe the period of time when dinosaurs lived on earth. 5. Identify dinosaurs that lived on land versus prehistoric creatures that lived in the sea or flew in the air. 6. Compare various sizes, weights, and body shapes of dinosaurs. Materials and Resources:

Extractions: Plant-eating sauropods were the largest animals to ever walk on Earth - but blue whales are more massive than any of the dinosaurs were! The largest dinosaurs were over 100 feet (30 m) long and up to 50 feet (15 m) tall (like Argentinosaurus , Seismosaurus, Ultrasauros Brachiosaurus , and Supersaurus ). The smallest dinosaurs, like Compsognathus , were about the size of a chicken. Most dinosaurs were in-between.

Giant Elephants In Nepal
Article about a group of animals that are either living dinosaurs or genetic freaks.
http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/~bz050/HomePage.gne.html

Extractions: In February and March of 1992, the intrepid British explorer Sir John Blashford-Snell was trekking through a remote valley in the Bardia region of western Nepal in search of "giant elephants" reported by the locals. Two representatives of these strange elephants, both bulls, were eventually observed - and photographed. The two beasts, living up to their reputation, were estimated to have footprints measuring 22.5 inches across and a height to the shoulders of 11 feet 3 inches, which makes them even larger than the largest-ever recorded specimen of the Asian elephant, Elephas maximus . Adding to the confusion was the presence of two very large domes on each elephant's forehead, and a distinctive nasal bridge. These two features are not present on normal Asian elephants, but are, however, distinct on an extinct species of primitive elephant, the Stegodont . Of course, the problem is that the Stegodont , the ancestor of both the African and Asian elephants we know today, as well as the extinct mammoth, apparently died out more than a million years ago. But this didn't stop Canadian paleontologist Dr. Clive Coy , as well as Snell himself, to speculate that the giant Nepalese elephants could very well be, in fact, representatives of the presumedly extinct Stegodont. However romantic and likable, not to mention being a great cryptozoological triumph, the Stegodont theory is now thought to be unlikely. The theory now favoured by cryptozoologists, is that these "giant elephants" are more likely to be mutant versions of the normal Asian elephant, rather than a Stegodont or even a separate, new species of elephant. One of the reasons behind this more orthodox solution is that a stegodont surviving to this day is perhaps a little far fetched (though nothing is truly far-fetched in cryptozoology!).
