Dinosaur: Encyclopedia II - Dinosaur Provincial Park - Paleontology

Dinosaur Provincial Park preserves an extraordinarily diverse group of freshwater vertebrates. Fish include sharks, rays (such as the durophage Myledaphus), paddlefish, bowfins, gars, and teleosts. Amphibians include frogs, salamanders, and the extinct albanerpetontids. Reptiles include lizards (such as the large monitor Paleosaniwa), a wide range of turtles, crocodilians, and the fish-eating Champsosaurus. The dinosaurs of the park are astonishingly diverse. ceratopsians include Chasmosaurus, Styracosau ...

Dinosaur: Encyclopedia II - Dinosaurs of the Isle of Wight - The Cretaceous habitat

The Island's dinosaurs come from the Wessex formation, which dates from between 125 and 110 million years go. During this time the Isle of Wight, then located on a latitude at which North Africa resides today, had a subtropical environment, and was part of a large river valley complex, which ran along the south coast of England to Belgium. A world of ponds, rivers and swamps, and so had conditions favourable for the formation of fossils. Animal remains from this time include crocodiles, turtles, pterosaurs, mam ...

Dinosaur: Encyclopedia II - Dinosaurs TV series - Adult Themes

Dinosaurs had several episodes with adult themes or references. At the end of the episode "A New Leaf," Robbie made a short public service announcement (asking to help put an end to preachy anti-drug episodes) in which he described the show as "adult-themed." In another episode, Earl made a self-referential joke while watching a puppet show, arguing that while the show had an aesthetic appeal to children, its humor was aimed at adults. Indeed, despite the cartoonish violence that often occurred in the series, many jokes were ai ...

Dinosaur: Encyclopedia II - Dinosaurs TV series - The Shows Within the Show

While Dinosaurs was, of course, a TV show, several jokes in the series were at the expense of television shows in general. Earl often wants to watch TV rather than do something more practical, and several jokes accuse television of "dumbing down" the population and making it lazy. Four episodes had themes related to television. In "Family Challenge," Earl gets the family to go on a game show in order to win a new TV when both of the household's televisions are destroyed. In "Fran Live," Fran gets a call-in show when she suggests that ...

Dinosaur: Encyclopedia II - Polar dinosaurs in Australia - Gondwana’s climate

During the Cretaceous, Earth's average temperature was warmer than it is now, making the polar regions more habitable. The exact nature of the climate of Gondwana has been determined by various methods. Several techniques have been used to deduce the ancient climate of Gondwana in the Early Cretaceous. One technique involves looking at the levels of oxygen isotopes in the rocks from the time. These have suggested estimated mean annual temperatures of between 0 °C (32 °F) (analogous to Hudson Bay) and 8 °C (46 °F) (analogous to Tor ...

Dinosaur: Encyclopedia II - Polar dinosaurs in Australia - Gondwana’s ancient fauna

Much as in Australia today, Gondwana played host to many endemic animals, which included many relicts of families that had gone extinct in the rest of the Cretaceous world, among them giant amphibian labyrinthodonts. It is thought they probably survived in Gondwana because they were able to survive the cold, whereas their competitors the crocodiles were unable to live outside warm climates. Mammals, including monotremes and possible placentals have been found, as well as fragmentary remains of flying pterosaurs. The teeth of plesiosaurs—long necked fish-eating reptiles— ...

Dinosaur: Encyclopedia II - Feather - Feathered dinosaurs

Main article: Feathered dinosaurs Although birds use feathers primarily for flight, several dinosaurs have been discovered with feathers on their limbs that would not have functioned for flight. One theory is that feathers originally developed on dinosaurs as a means of insulation; those small dinosaurs that then grew longer feathers may have found them helpful in gliding, which would have begun the evolutionary process that resulted in some proto-birds like Archaeopteryx and Microraptor zhaoianus. Other dinosaurs ...

Dinosaur: Encyclopedia II - Confederación de Trabajadores de México - The age of dinosaurs

Those PRI leaders who stayed within the circle of power acquired the derogative nickname of "dinosaurs". Fidel Velázquez was the longest-lived of them all, and one of the most conservative as well. Velázquez and the CTM opposed every major movement that ran against the status quo prevalent in the country: in 1968 he verbally attacked the student demonstrators who supported Cuba and demanded democratic reforms in Mexico, calling them radicals inspired by foreign doctrines. The government went further, killing three hundred students in the Tlatelolco mass ...

Dinosaur: Encyclopedia II - Gregory S. Paul - Illustrations

Paul pioneered the "new look" of dinosaurs. He was the fist professional to depict them as active, warm-blooded and — in the case of the small ones — feathered. Many later dinosaur illustrations are a reflection of his anatomical insights or even a direct imitation of his style. The fact that he is also a professional paleontologist makes people regard his images as a sort of scientific standard to be followed; this tendency is stimulated by his habit of constantly redrawing older work to let it reflect the latest finds and theori ...

Dinosaur: Encyclopedia II - Eoraptor - Description and behavior

It had a thin body that grew to about 1 meter (3 feet) long, and weighed about 10 kilograms (22 pounds). It ran digitigrade, upright on its hind legs. Its arms were only half the length of its legs, and had five fingers on each hand. Three of those fingers, the longer of the five, ended in large claws and were used to handle prey. Scientists have surmised that the fourth and fifth fingers were too tiny to be of any use in hunting. Eoraptor probably ate mostly small animals. It was a swift sprinter, and upon catching its prey, ...

Dinosaur: Encyclopedia II - Archaeopteryx - Primitive bird

Archaeopteryx was similar in size and shape to a magpie, with short, broad wings and a long tail. The feathers resemble those of living birds, but Archaeopteryx was rather different from any bird we know of today: it had jaws lined with sharp teeth, three fingers ending in curving claws, and a long bony tail. Archaeopteryx is a powerful piece of evidence that birds evolved from dinosaurs. The skeleton is most similar to the dinosaurs of the families Dromaeosauridae and Troodontidae. However, it is not believed to ...

Dinosaur: Encyclopedia II - Feather - Characteristics

Feathers are among the most complex structural organs found in vertebrates: integumentary appendages, formed by controlled proliferation of cells in the epidermis, or outer skin layer, that produce keratin proteins. The β-keratins in feathers, beaks and claws — and the claws, scales and shells of reptiles — are composed of protein strands hydrogen-bonded into β-pleated sheats, which are then further twisted and crosslinked by disulfide bridges into structures even tougher than the α-ke ...

Dinosaur: Encyclopedia II - Troodon - Classification

Troodon was first named Troödon (with a diaeresis) by Joseph Leidy in 1856, which was officially emended to its current status by Sauvage in 1876 — though both versions persist in common usage. Troodon is known only from fossil teeth, which have since been conflated with postcranial material from specimens known as Stenonychosaurus. However, it has been disputed ...
