“Dino Dig” by Kathleen Rudolph In this activity you’ll make use of some of the techniques and evidence that paleontologists work with to determine the identity of different fossils to establish the particular time period in which those creatures lived. Most fossil digs take place in remote places where it is hot and dry and dirty. But one outstanding (and famous) site for Pleistocene fossils is right in the middle of downtown Los Angeles: The La Brea Tar Pits. Check out this site to learn

A 240-million-year-old reptile with a skeletal precursor of a shell has been revealed as the grandfather of all turtles.

In the movie “The Land that Time Forgot (1975)” we noticed that‚ although some of dinosaurs portrayed had some accuracies to their characteristics‚ most had glaring flaws. The first dinosaur we addressed was the Pterodactylus. The movie accurately portrayed the Pterodactylus because it has a short tail‚ 3 claws per wing and it is only shown during the day.

Paleography has taught me many things‚ which I have shared with family and friends. I have even told a few students about it at the local high school. I have learned how to read different kinds of handwriting scripts to how to recognize various documents. It has been interesting for me and for my children to share this learning. My children have enjoyed the different writing styles the most. Paleography is the study of different kinds of writing. Knowing the different kinds of writing
