Diplodocus

substantial load were deemed as important to the animal’s survival. One of the movements they primarily examined was torsion (being able to twist or bend, one end in relation to the other). This might occur when an animal decides to twist its neck or shake its head. This relies on their oblique muscles being able to act as a counterbalance to these movements. As is mentioned in the other discussed articles, they also believed that many of the tendons eventually ossified into the sauropod’s cervical ribs and concluded that these cervical ribs, at least in mamenchisaurids and brachiosaurs (both members of the sauropod family) were limited in their movement, due to the ribs being greater in length. However, the shorter length of these ribs in Diplodocus would have allowed greater range of motion and flexibility in the neck. As for the tails, they did not noticed any significant signs of torsion being applied, thus surmising that the tails remained in a lateral posture, contrasting to the neck, which would have remained (due to their comparisons and analyses) in an…

I work up early on a low-pressures, and luminous day, and got up and unblemished the house to make it look like a brand new shoe. This about the first time I rode a roller coaster at Mall of America. Walking to Mall of America the wind was characteristic with joy of wonder inside my ear. When I arrived the amusement park was voluminous like the inside of an mansion. Entering the amusement park I decided which roller coaster to ride. Love is a roller coaster because of the unbalance emotion you…

sentences", we would tend to say, "on the end of sentences", or, "on the end of the sentence". So we don't just make plural by putting an 's' on the end of the word, we also add a 'the' in front of the singular. You are making me think with this, you will note that as you are learning English, you are looking into it technically and more precisely than you did when you were learning Spanish as a child, then you learned as you were going along, just listening to other people, now you're looking…

lizard”), a four-legged dinosaur in 1879. With at least three known species, this dinosaur lived in the Morrison Formation of present day Western US, during the late Jurassic Period and became extinct by the end of the period. Perhaps one of the most controversially classified dinosaurs, paleontologists have reclassified the Brontosaurus several times since its discovery to an extent that some quarters believed that it did not exist entirely. As one of the most known dinosaurs, it continues to…

There was a large extinction during this times which led to the wiping out of large amount of land animals, but the dinosaurs survived. Being the only major land animals, the dinosaur thrived and reproduce for many years. The period was characterized by heavy rainfalls, plants and grasses such as ferns and primitive plants grew over large areas of land. This plentiful supply of grasses corroborated the multiplication of giant grass eating dinosaurs of the genus Sauropods which consisted of…

Dinosaurs are categorized into these two groups based on the structure of their hips. Saurischia means "lizard-hipped," and scientists are able to differentiate them from other dinosaurs because these dinosaurs have asymmetrical fingers, long necks, and pelvic bones that point downard and foward at a certain angle. There are two major groups that form among the saurischians. These two groups are the Sauropoda, which are large herbivores, and the Theropoda which are carnivores. Some examples of…

This period was estimated to have been between 200 to 145 million years ago. During this period the climate on Earth had drastically changed from really dry to humid and even subtropical. Pangea kept separating, and one half of it, Laurasia, broke up into North America and Eurasia. Godwanda started to break up during the mid-Jurassic. Due to this break-up, more new oceans flooded the spaces in between the new lands. This was a very big change in time for animals as well. More oceanic creatures…
