Land of the Dinosaurs

Your family goes back in time, from a Triceratops at a Montana river, past a four-winged Microraptor, to the first dinosaurs. They learn who lived when, how fossils form, and that the pigeon outside is a dinosaur.

• T. rex and Brachiosaurus lived more than 80 million years apart.
• Triceratops means “three-horned face,” and Maiasaura means “good mother lizard.”
• Pterosaurs and ichthyosaurs lived alongside dinosaurs but were not dinosaurs.
• Feathered Microraptor glided on four wings, and birds are living dinosaurs.
• How minerals turn buried bone to stone, and why diggers use plaster.
