This is a place you can go where you can see so many dinosaur bones altogether in rock. The bones are still inside the rocks. This place is called a quarry.
I learned that a femur is the bone in the top part of a leg. I have a femur. This is a dinosaur femur and it is taller than I am. This shows that some dinosaurs were very big.
I worked on answering questions so I could be a Junior Ranger at this National Park too.
Some bones are missing but they are set up so I could see what a baby stegosaurus looked like. The scientists did not find any stegosaurus back plates (the parts that stick up like fins) so they have a smart guess that maybe they grew them once they got bigger. But they do not know for sure.
I took another oath! Then I worked on a 100th year Junior Ranger program. It took me over an hour to do the work. Now I have earned three badges!
Mrs. T’s class would like to know if you saw a tail bone or a back bone of a dinosaur? We also want to congratulate you on earning 3 Junior Ranger badges.
At the Dinosaur National Park there were so many dinosaur bones that were all still together, not ones that were broken apart and then put back together again like scientists usually have to do.
I saw a lot of tails, long ones, and also I saw backs too. I had never seen so many altogether like that and it was really exciting to see.
Thank you for saying congratulations. I feel really proud of myself and happy that I did it!!
