Prezi Presentation By: Luis Andrei
Back in 1676 a Curator of a English Museum named Robert Plot drew a picture of a vary large thigh bone that back then he thought that it belonged to a very giant man. But soon after the fossil that he had described had disappeared without a trace only leaving illustrations that people thought had been descriptions from the species called the "Megalosaurus".
Soon later in 1822 large teeth had been founded by Mary Ann Mantell and her Husband Gideon in England believing it had been from a huge extinct iguana. Until 1841 when a British Scientist Richard Owen said than the teeth bones were not like any other type of animal before and to prove there was different species. Owen called these animals, "Dinosauria" meaning Terrible Lizards.
People originally these beings were ravens that came from Noah's Ark along time ago after the great flood that wiped away the whole world. But at the time they discovered some fossils and bones of the dinosaurs lots of paleontologists were short on evidence to prove their statements. Two people named Othniel Marsh and Edward Cope agreed to race to excavate fossils in the Rocky Mountains, with their separate teams and this led them to discover 136 species of Dinosaurs in the time of war, the Bone Wars!
At the times near the late 1900's dinosaurs were being more studied and the name dinosaur did more then just meant: "terrible lizard", it meant the people that try hard enough find magnificent things in life and can see the past world in a different way. Enthusiasm for dinosaurs were growing very steadily attracting the large Scientific Community to help study it more, Museums were even making dig teams to find dinosaur bones to put in their own museums. New states like Utah, as they were being known for finding most of the popular dinosaur species to this date like the Stegosaurus, the plated back dinosaur. Fossils were being found in more areas like Montana with the Tyrannosaurus Rex also known as a T-Rex. And New Mexico with the Baby Coelosaurs.
People and Scientists tried to bring back the Dinosaur's habitat back to the world to try and "reconstruct the lives of us and Dinosaurs. In 1960 a man named Robert Bakker thought these creatures were very energetic because he thought they were warm-blooded animals. Another man named Peter Doson with James Farlow hypothesized that the Dinosaurs with horns used theirs horns to get in combat and attract female dinosaurs. Another man named Jack Horner said that dinosaurs Used nests to put the eggs in and raise their children in, and he found out that some dinosaurs moved in colonies like the Maiasauria.
In the years were we live in now the world of the dinosaurs is still being studied give to the public a brand new taste of how hard-working scientists are trying their hardest to help understand dinosaurs. Blockbuster-Movies like Jurassic Park and the new Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom out in theaters, we as the public are gaining more interest on these magnificent beings that walked the land you are standing on. Think about it!
