Introduction to Dinosaurs - Tuesday, 1st Period
When the class gathered, they would once again find just one instructor at the front of the room. But this time, it was Connor standing there, a stack of papers in his hand as he waited for the time to start class.
“Good morning, class. We have an exciting lecture today that I will be covering while Professor Cutter is finishing up a trip he had to take. Today we will be talking about the Sinornithosaurus . Sinornithosaurus,which is derived from a combination of Latin and Greek, meaning 'Chinese bird-lizard', is a genus of feathered dinosaurs from the early Cretaceous Period. Fossils were first found in the area of the Yixian Formation in what is now China. It is believed that this carnivorous bird-like dino lived around 130-120 million years ago.’
Connor looked around the class and, for a brief moment of pause, wished that Cutter was there to help him finish up the lecture. With a soft sigh, he continued.
“This dinosaur lived in a terrestrial habitat and is believed to have been found in wooded areas and had some gliding abilities. However, it is not believed that Sinornithosaurus could actually fly like a bird. A total of two different species have been found and recognized by paleontologists. Scientists are still studying the fossil remains we do have and are working to understand this creature more. And now,” Connor said as he started handing out the papers to the class, “for the rest of the period, you can work on the Sinornithosaurus handouts I’ve made for us today. If you have any questions feel free to ask.”
