from Ruben H., Harlem, M.T., U.S.A.; March 12, 2001

A: Mostly by looking at the mouth and teeth. Animals with a small mouth and flat (or other non-sharp) teeth cannot easily catch or eat animals (think of a sheep, for example). Animals with knife-like teeth have them for a reason - catching, killing, and eating animals (think of a tiger, for example). Some dinosaurs, like Ornithomimus and Oviraptor, probably did eat both.



Q: Why was the Tyrannousaurs Rex named King of the Tyrant lizard
from ?, ?, ?, ?; March 12, 2001

A: Because when T. rex was found, it was the biggest meat-eating dinosaur.



Q: What exactly is the difference between mammoths and mastodons? They appear to be very similar in pictures.
from Emily S., Cedar Rapids, IA, US; March 11, 2001

Q: What causes background extinctions?
from christopher l., brocport, ny, u s of a; March 11, 2001

A: There are many different factors that can cause a species to go extinct when there is no mass extinction. Some of the factors include competition from other organisms, a food source that goes extinct (or is scarce), a slight climate change, droughts, floods (other small changes in the organism's habitat), volcanic activity, disease, etc. Most extinctions are background extinctions.



Q: What causes background extinctions?

Q: Dear Enchanted Learning, I was wondering if you knew how much Amhicoelias weighed. I am very curious about Amphicoelias. Thankyou from Matthew
from Matthew L, Philadelphia, PA, USA; March 9, 2001

A: No, I don't. I've seen estimates that Amphicoelias fragillimus weighed roughly 10 to 150 tonnes, but since only a few bones have found (and the largest has mysteriously disappeared), so take those figures with a great deal of skepticism.



Q: Is it really true that Amphicoelias ranged from 65 to 170 feet?Did it weigh between 100-150 tons?Then,why is'nt there information about it?? What is the height and weight and lenght of A.altus?
from L.Manasvi, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India; March 9, 2001

A: Too few fossils have been found to make believable estimates. Read the entry on Amphicoelias in the dinosaur dictionary to see why.



Q: I want to know, if there were any dinosaurs discovered in my home state of New Jersey, and if so, by who?
from Renata L., North Bergen, New Jersey, USA; March 9, 2001

A: Yes, many early, important dinosaurs discoveries were made in New Jersey. For information on these early discoveries, click here. For a list of dinosaurs found in New Jersey (and the other states), click here.



Q: What was the first flying dinosaur to be discovered? and by who?
from Renata L., North Bergen, New Jersey, USA; March 9, 2001

A: The first pterosaur (flying reptile) was found in 1784 in Solnhofen limestone (in Bavaria, Germany) by an Italian naturalist named Cosmo Alessandro Collini. It was first thought to be a marine animal - it was later determined to be a flying reptile and was named "pterodactyle" (by Georges Cuvier in 1809).



Q: can you show a real life picture of a styracosaurus
from kai d, framingham, ma., u.s.a; March 9, 2001

A: There are no real life pictures of the dinosaurs. For a picture of fossilized Stegosaurus bones, click here.



Q: what does comparing fossils to present-day living things do for scientist and students?
from angela r, ?, ?, ?; March 9, 2001

A: Comparing fossils to relatively similar modern-day animals can help you determine things like skeletal structure (how do the bones fit together), musculature (compare where the muscles attach to the bones of modern-day animals to see what the musculature of extinct one would have been like), mode of locomotion (how would a similar modern-day animal move with that type of skeletal structure), speed (given an animal of a particular size, leg length, stride, and mass - how fast it can run today is probably similar to that of its prehistoric counterpart), and just about every other quantity or quality you would like to find out about.

from Brian.R, boston, Ma, U.S.A.; March 7, 2001

A: It can take millions of years for the original tissues in a bone to be replaced by minerals (but exactly how long this fossilization process can take in ideal conditions is unknown).



Q: I wanted to know for my class, if any other dinosaurs besides the oviraptor ate plants and meat?
from erica, brooklyn, n.y., usa; March 6, 2001

A: There were probably many others (but many more carnnivores and many, many more herbivores). Ornithomimus was likely an omnivore. There are some paleontologists who think that Massospondylus (also other heterodonts) and possibly the protoceratopsians may have been omnivores (but there is some debate about this).

Q: what does the name brontosauros mean?
from tee c, ?, ?, ?; March 6, 2001

A: Brontosaurus means "thunder lizard."



Q: How much could the largest plant eater eat in a day?
from AJ D., Tifton, GA, USA; March 6, 2001

A: The answer depends on their metabolism (which isn't known). If they were cold-blooded, they would need much less food than if they were warm-blooded (endothermic).

Q: Why wasn't the Teradactile a dinosaur?
from Javier P, Tifton, GA, USA; March 6, 2001

A: One major difference was that pterodactyls (and other pterosaurs) had a slightly different (more sprawling) leg structure than the dinosaurs.



Q: Did dinosaurs have ears?
from Trevor, ?, ?, ?; March 5, 2001

Q: How much meat did T.Rex eat in a day?
from Jaimie V, Tifton, GA, USA; March 5, 2001

A: That isn't known - the amount would depend on T. rex's metabolism. If T. rex was cold-blooded, it would need much less food than if it was warm-blooded. For more information on T. rex, click here.



Q: This is our 5th time trying to get a answer. What was the surface like in the jurassic period??? Please respond this is for a science project!!
from Dustin F and Casey S, Birmingham, MI, USA; March 5, 2001
