A303 - Tyrannosaurs
The central design shows all members of the
Tyrannosaur family, in scale to each other. They are arranged
chronologically, left to right, by the time they first appear in the
fossil record. The insets cover many important topics. The two at the top
explain the distinctive anatomical characteristics and show the
important ancestors. The captions cite species, pronunciation,
size, when lived where fossils have been found and important
milestones in evolutionary development. Those at the bottom
cover new discoveries, such as the recently unearthed feathered
tyrannosaurs and the results of the amazing growth studies recently
announced by the Field Museum. Behavior discusses family
relationship and the controversial question as the T. rex being a
hunter or a scavenger. The last one lists all North American
museums where T. rex skeletons are on display. n found will be shown
on a matched set of maps - one showing the position of the continents
at the time and the other where they are today. |
