where scientists have discovered eggs and nests, and the amazing stories
fossilized eggs reveal about dinosaur life

Wonderworks creations give you a good sense of the size and heft of the
genuine creature

The fearsome 10-metre tall tyrannosaurus rex towers over the front rows and
roars its terrifying cry right into the audience

The characteristics of the new dinosaur allows the authors to group several

continents in Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous rocks
** Dinosaur's footprints found in Phitsanulok
French palaeontologist Jean Re Loeuff, who has led a team of two Thai
geologists, said he could not yet identify which type of the dinosaur the
footprints came from, but they should belong to a predatory species that
roamed the earth more than 100 millions year ago

Thank you for an interesting, useful site. I recommend it to teachers who
