Fossil HuntingBY: Ayanna Molinero

About this power point

We have been reading about fossil hunters and searching for fossils. These are some of the things we have learned.

Fossils

Fossils are the remains of prehistoric plats and animals that have been preserved into stone

Discoveries that changed paleontologist minds Paleontology discovered that changed their minds about dinosaurs, for

example, paleontology thought that the Tyrannosaurus-Rex were the largest meat eating dinosaur. Then, in 1995, fossils were found in Argentina of a meat eating dinosaur that was even larger than the Tyrannosaurus- Rex. Scientists named this dinosaur Giganotosaurus.

Where can I see fossils

Scientist had found out that Sue was the biggest Tyrannosaurus Rex on display

Scientist make fake dinosaurs called anamteronicts that they used in movies.

Before fossils are displayed they are cleaned and put together but before they are displayed they make sure that they have the right pieces to the dinosaurs and then they are displayed.
