Introduction to Dinosaurs - Tuesday, 1st Period
Cutter was feeling a little tired this week, it had been a long weekend of physical and mental tests that would determine if they would be approved to return to field work at the ARC and they still hadn’t heard anything back and Cutter was trying to not feel anxious about it.
At least he had class to distract him, “welcome back,” he began when it was time to start, “this week we’re going to be looking at the Stygimoloch
, the Stygimoloch was a plant eating dinosaur that lived in the late Cretaceous period,” he gave a smile and nodded over at Connor to continue the lecture.
Connor nodded as he glanced down at his notes and started. “Like other pachycephalosaurids, Stygimoloch was a bipedal herbivore with an extremely thick skull roof. It had long hindlimbs and small forelimbs. Because of this, the Pachycephalosaurs probably head-butted as a defense and as a form of rivalry combat with others of its species- much like rams but heads as a show of dominance today. A large number of skulls found for this dinosaur show signs of trauma to the bone, further suggesting that head-butting occurred quite frequently and could, at times, lead to serious injuries. Fossils of the Stygimoloch have been found in North America, mostly in what is now Montana and Wyoming.”
Connor finished and gave a quick nod to Cutter as he handed over the papers for the class assignment that he had worked on.
“For the rest of the class I’d like you to go over your worksheets and as always, if you have any questions please ask myself or Mr. Temple,” Cutter finished off the lecture with a nod to the students for them to begin working on their worksheets.
