I chose a peice of artwork showing feauters of a dino.





**How is a fossil like a time capsule?** =**A fossil is like a time capsule because a fossil and a time capsule both holds information and secrets of the past.They are also similar because both are both found underground.** =



=**The environment changed in each period of the Mesozic, the Triassic, Jurassic and the Cretaceous periods. These are the different periods and the environment changed in each of them.In the Triassic all the continents were joined together in a huge landmass.The climate was hot except for rain in some seasons.In the Jurassic period the huge continent started to break up and there became forests and flora and fauna.In the Cretaceous period, the last period of the Mesozic the huge continent had fully been broken up into smaller continents and there became much more forests and all different kinds of flora and fauna.** = = = Timeline for Examples of Change **
 * How did the environment change in the Mesozic Age? **
 * How did this impact on animal life? **
 * This made an impact on animal life because it would have split some dinosaurs up from eachother and it would've made habitats better for dinoaurs who's habitat needs shade.It also would have increased the amount of there food, especially those who were planteaters.  **

Lizards of today,crocodiles ,turtles and whale look in many ways similar to animals that lived on earth at the time of the dinosaurs. Explain your ideas around this thought. From what i have been researching I have discovered that they are relatives of the dinosaurs. They evolved from a group of mammal like reptiles called the Archosauromorphs, (a diapsid reptile group).In the Triassic period this group broke up into little groups called Thecodonts, dinosaurs,pterosaurs and crocodilians (deinosuchus).Lizards,Crocodiles and turtles all evolved from the Archosauromorphs but whales where evolved from a group called protomammals which is also where we evolved from.

 Could Dinosaurs live on our earth today?

I think that dinosaurs would not be able to live on our earth today for a number of reasons, firstly because of the temperatures, temperatures have gotten much colder and the cold-blooded dinosaurs would not be able to live with this as they need warm temperatures to keep them warm. Secondly they could not live on our earth now because of human disturbance,humans will probably demolish their habitat and their food source they need to survive. Another reason is that we have lost a lot of fresh air and their is not as much now as their was back then and dinosaurs need lots of fresh air to survive.The following reasons explain why i think that dinosaurs would not be able to survive on our earth today. What if Paleontologists had never found of existence of Dinosaurs?  <span style="color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 23px; line-height: 35px;">If Paleontologists had never found existence of dinosaurs then nobody would have known that these fascinating creatures of the past had once existed millions of years ago.There would be no entertainment on dinosaurs such as TV series, movies,museum exhibits,plays and great workshops.So, if Paleontologists had never found existence of dinosaurs then we would have never known what had roamed our earth millions on years ago.

Yes, I belive that dinosaurs existed and the evidence I have is the remains from plants and animals in the past. Dinosaur eggs have been found at over 200,000 sites around the world including China,USA,France,Argentina, India and more. Fossils are the remains of living things preserved in rock.They tell us about life of the past. Paleontologists have been able to learn a lot about different types of dinosaurs and how they lived their lives, through studying fossils. Most fossils are millions of years old because a fossil takes a very long time to form The fossils are dated by seeing which layers of rock they are formed in. Fossils in lower layers are older then the ones that are in layers alone. Different fossils tell us different facts. "Body fossils"-include shells, bones of an animals skeleton. "Trace Fossils"- are evidence of activities of live animals and they include footprints,trails,eggshells and skin. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 180%;">"Impression fossils"-marks left by dead animals ie soft parts leave a shape behind.

<span style="color: #00b6ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 180%;">5 questions i would ask a paleontologist about a renowned discovery: What layer of rock is it? What type of dinosaur was it? Did id come from the Triassic,Jurassic or Cretaceous Period? What dinosaur group did it belong to? Where was the fossil found?
