Dinosaurs In The Jurassic Time Period
By: David Wallace
This project is going to be based on some of the dinosaurs in the Jurassic Time Period and it will give information about that dinosaur as well. Vertebrates taking to the air like the pterosaurs and the first birds. This was the Jurassic Period, 199.6 to 145.5 million years ago, a 54-million-year chunk of the Mesozoic Era. Air, land, or sea, dinosaurs came in all shapes and sizes in many different places around the world. The first dinosaur that I will be telling you about is the Dilophosaurus, this carnivore walked on two legs and unlike the movie (Jurassic park), Dilophosaurus did not spit poison at his prey and didn’t have an expandable neck frill, also shown in the movie I might add. It lived in the early Jurassic Period and was normally 10 feet tall and 20 feet in length. The next dinosaur on the list is called Allosaurus whom is also a carnivore like the Dilophosaurus. Allosaurus was one of the first dinosaurs in the Jurassic Period to be discovered and is most common in Utah. There are around 30 different types of Allosaurus who were close to the height of the T-rex at 39-43 meters long and 15 to 16 meters tall. It walked on two legs and is said that it could run 19-34 mph which is faster than a T-rex can run. …show more content…
Its name is Plesiosaurus and it didn’t have any kind of protection like hardback scales or poison, it had to camouflage and prey on small marine life. Once in awhile, they come to shore to lay their eggs in a spot where predators will hopefully not eat them. They are around 127 million years old and are longer than 15 feet. Another Jurassic Period dinosaur that can swim is the Ichthyosaurs. The Ichthyosaurs was first born in the early Jurassic Period and had a very flexible body which was one of the reasons it was very fast. The Ichthyosaurs feeds off of tuna and
