Introduction to Dinosaurs - Tuesday, 1st Period
The teachers were back in the classroom this week, “Welcome back,” Cutter said with a tired smile, “this week we’re going to be covering the Mosasaur,” he began, “the Mosasaur were a group of aquatic lizards that were found worldwide during the Cretaceous Period and during the late Cretaceous Period in particular, some Mosasaur’s could grow to incredible lengths and were estimated to have been 17 metres long but most were the size of Porposie’s,”
Connor smiled as he set his notes down and continued the lecture when Cutter was finished with the introduction. “ Many mosasaurs of the Late Cretaceous were large. The longest mosasaurs, based an fossil remnants that have been found, are estimated to have been 17 metres (about 56 feet) in length. However, the majority of mosasaurs were more common forms of subspecies no larger than modern porpoises. It is believed this creature ate fish, shellfish, squid and smaller marine animals. It had a very long, thin, almost snake like body with powerful flippers, a large elongated tail and a huge head with a long snout lined with teeth. It was a dominating predator of the open sea 145 to 65 million years ago.” Connor looked over at Cutter with a nod as he finished up.
“For the rest of the lesson you can work on your worksheets and reports,” Cutter finished up, nodding back at Connor as he resumed the lesson, “next week will be our final class and I’d like you both to prepare a report on your favourite dinosaur or creature that you learned from this session,” he said, “and as always myself and Mr. Temple will be around to answer any questions you may have,”
