Introduction to Dinosaurs - Tuesday, 1st Period
Cutter waited as long as he could for Connor to turn up to class, he glanced down at his phone to see if Connor had messaged him to say that he wouldn’t be coming in . Maybe Connor just needed space before he felt okay being able to teach class with Cutter again … but this wasn’t like Connor to not bother turning up at all. He bit his lip, wondering if he should just cancel class and go check on Connor but … he was trying really hard to give Connor his space now and maybe … this was all just part of it …
He took a deep breath and stared at the class, clearly he was going to be running it solo today, “okay, let’s get started … this week we’re going to be covering dreadnoughtus,” he began, “the Dreadnoughtus were from the late Cretaceous period and based on the rock deposits, they were found in southern Patagonia, Argentina, what makes the Dreadnoughtus particularly interesting is that it’s only known from two fossils and these were described in 2014,” Cutter had been rather fascinated to discover all of this when he had been preparing for class, “the larger of the two fossils had 115 bones and this only represented 70 percent of the dinosaur’s skeleton behind its head, now using these fossils …scientists have been able to determine that the Dreadnoughtus was a herbivore, it was 9 metres tall and it had an 11 metre length neck and this allowed it to eat from the leaves high up in the trees and so it didn’t have to rely as much on food from the ground,”
He stoped, checking his phone again incase there was a message from Connor but still nothing, “for the rest of the class I’d like you to work on your worksheets and I’ll be around to answer any questions,”
