I have always loved dinosaurs. I could watch the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World movies over and over. My aunt got me into dinosaurs at an early age. She loves any kind of movie with dangerous creatures (whether it be sharks or dinosaurs). I couldn't care less about shark movies unless the shark is prehistoric like in The Meg (the first one is an amazing movie, the second one is ok.) Choosing a favorite is tough, but I think my favorite dinosaur are Velociraptors, also called just raptors. The raptors that are featured in the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World movies is actually a bit different than what they actually look like. The real Raptors were a bit smaller and looked more like birds with their feathers. The word raptor even means "bird of prey", as is mentioned in the first Jurassic Park movie. My second favorite dinosaur is the Brachiosaurus which is a herbivore with its extra long neck so it can reach the leaves on the tallest trees. My love and knowledge of dinosaurs grew as I got older.

I've not seen any dinosaur fossil, not of a complete, or relatively complete, skeleton. I would really like to experience a T-Rex. Good for you, River!

https://postimg.cc/Q9NzgwZy The first dinosaur skeleton I saw in person was a T-rex.

Maybe it wasn't so funny (although it seemed to me at the time) to have the Jigsaw featuring making a bed (here ). Thing is, these creatures were HUGE. HUGE. Have you ever seen the skeleton of a dinosaur, aside from in pictures? I haven't but it's definitely something I want to do. Imagining walking around this creature, if it were fully fleshed out. The size of the bones. Just .... incredible. T-Rex skeleton (112 pieces) Solve this jigsaw and post it below, being sure to show the number of pieces of the puzzle (112), the time it took you to complete it AND be sure it is 600x600 or less in dimensions! You receive 25 Diamonds for posting your completed Jigsaw by the end of March, HOL time. You will earn another 5 Diamonds if you comment if you've ever seen, live and in person, a dinosaur skeleton, with the picture of your completed Jigsaw -- and if so, what it was.

To no one's great surprise River Fenwick has sent in the solution to this puzzle! Who is next? Luna Ravenlong Followed by ....

Some people found dinosaurs through toys available, models large and small of T-Rex, Triceratops, Brontosaurus, and many many more. What are THESE? (Are they real? ) Then we have people who are attracted to dinosaurs because of movies they've seen. One famous paleontologist is reported to have said that most of his students said that they were in his class because of the movie Jurassic Park. Who is this paleontologist -- and what else might he have said? Solve this Fallen Letters puzzle and find out. Here's a direct link to the graphic.

Dinosaurs are fascinating to me, and to many others. Something was alluded to in the 'Dinosaur' jigsaw posted elsewhere a little while ago, which points to the fact that all people engaged in finding out about dinosaurs were not always very friendly with each other ....

Wonders of the World - Dinosaurs ..... Marching on ..... There is so much that has been learned about dinosaurs, and a lot of it is (admittedly) rather dry. Some of the less dry aspects of dinosaurs, and the study of them, is that there was a huge debate -- no, make that there have been and continue to be huge debates about dinosaurs, where they lived, when they lived, what kind of creatures they actually were, what kind of creatures (if any) eventually descended from them, all kinds of 'what' and 'when' and 'who' and 'why' and 'how' about dinosaurs. Yes, duels have even been fought over these topics. A quick Google search, asking about duels, gives me this: "The most well-known "duel" fought over dinosaurs was the "Bone Wars," a fierce rivalry between paleontologists Othniel Charles Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope, who competed to discover and name the most dinosaur fossils in the late 19th century." In the meantime, this is a generally accepted and currently perhaps accurate chart of the different ages of the earth and who was around at that time.

Wonders of the World - Dinosaurs continues! Ah, dinosaurs. Yes, this is a serious business, studying dinosaurs! After all, there is so much to learn and there are so many theories as to how and when and where and what and why they were here and now not here and who they were and everything. And yet, with all of this seriousness, one still manages to find a 'funny' thing .... A lovely friend showed me this meme. Of course I needed to make a Jigsaw of it! Making a Bed (140 pieces) Solve this jigsaw and post it below, being sure to show the number of pieces of the puzzle (140), the time it took you to complete it AND be sure it is 600x600 or less in dimensions!

My first memory dinosaurs is going to the natural history museum in London when I was about six. There used by be a giant model of a diplodocus called “Dippy” in the entrance hall, and I’m pretty sure that’s when I learned what dinosaurs were (and what extinction meant). Dinosaurs were never a massive interest of mine, but I did like learning about how the fossils were discovered, and scientists and palaeontologists put together what they must have looked like and their habits just from these bone fragments. Dinosaur fossils have been found as far back as the 3rd century, but it was unknown at the time what they were. For example, in China, it was believed that they were dragon bones and used in traditional medicines. The 17th century was when scholars began describing what we would now recognise as dinosaur bones. A femur from a megalosaurus was found in Cornwall and was described as “too large to belong to any known species.” The study of the “Great Fossilised Lizards” really picked up in the mid 19th century, and the National History Museum was established in 1842 to display retinas national collection of fossils.
