Pachycephalosaurus

So in celebration of FINALLY getting back on board with our (hopefully) daily dinosaurs with Emanuel I am posting a few of the ones that have been awaiting editing and such to go up on the site!!! So please enjoy a look back at our own personal paleontology internet dig.

Some dinosaurs are simply interesting to look at, and the head of the Pachycephalosaurus is no exception. Found in the forests of North America, this herbivore had some of the carnivore characteristics that remind us of the T Rex… the upright posture, the smaller front legs… From the Cretaceous period, this was the largest of its species and while its head could have been used to fight it is actually believed that the Pachycephalosaurus would have made use of its large hind legs by running away.

Now for videos… the first is a question and answer period with Dinosaur George. Sadly, the link he gives for the intriguing Dracorex does NOT work.

Our second video was an unrealistic but entertaining excerpt from a dinosaur game… Trinity and Emanuel enjoyed it at least.

Gorgosaurus

We are always excited to find another Alberta dinosaur. This smaller Tyrannosaur was quite the carnivore and while not as large at the T Rex it was quite formidable in the face of the smaller herbivores. The Gorgosaurus was found in the Cretaceous period and had the same large head, sharp teeth, powerful back legs and shortened front arms with claws.

Our video is once again from I’m A Dinosaur. We are coming to the end of their 49 episode series!!

Eotyrannus

Ever wonder who came BEFORE the Tyrannosaurus Rex? Well, wonder no longer… The Eotyrannus is early in the tyrannus family. Found on the Isle of Wight it is one of the earliest known and most raptor like in looks. The “Dawn Tyrant” is definitely a swift and fearsome predator.

We have TWO videos to share, the first from I’m a Dinosaur…

And another from the IW Council about a brand new display at the Dinosaur Isle Museum…

Quite the phenomenon at the Isle of Wight. Now for our links… Dinosaurs.about.com covers this carnivore HERE. EnchantedLearning has a fact sheet HERE. Prehistoric Wildlife has a page HERE. Apparently Primeval included this dinosaur in its series HERE. I love the image of the dinosaur on the Dino Directory page HERE. Wiki of course has their article HERE. And our colouring page is from deviantArt by an amazing artist… Zakafreakarama HERE. You can find his main artist page HERE.
