There is much debate regarding the cold/warm blooded status of dinosaurs. We think of them like lizards but there is fossil evidence such as feathers which would be insulation to support the warm blooded argument. #dinofacts#notafactasnotsosure#dinosaurs#dinosaur
Palaeontology is the study of animals and plants from fossils. A paleontologist is a scientist who studies these fossils. Someone who collects fossils in an amateur palaeontologist. #fossilfacts#dinofacts#fossils#dinosaurs#palaeontology
Plateosaurus was one of the earliest dinosaurs named, way back in 1837!!! Even before the term ‘dinosaur’ was ever used!!! #dinosaurs#dinosaurfacts#dinofacts#facts
The Velociraptors in Jurassic Park are not true Velociraptors as they are much smaller. They most closely resemble the Achillobator. In both size and fossil location! Both from Mongolia and China. #jurassicpark#dinosaurs#dinofacts#dinosaurfacts
The dinosaurs lived in a time period called the Mesozoic Era. The age of Reptiles! This contained the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods. We shall again rule the world one day!!! #dinosaurs#tyrantlizardking#tyrannosaurus#trex
Reverend William Buckland was a geologist and palaeontologist. He wrote the first full account of a fossil dinosaur, which he named Megalosaurus. It mean “giant lizard.” #dinosaur#dinofacts
