Call #6: Dinosaur National Monument
4:00pm

We spoke to Ranger Molly.

She works as a park ranger in Utah in a jurassic type park.  There is almost 1,300 species of dinosaurs.

The layers of rock are sedimentary and the oldest rock is like 1 billion years old way before the dinosaurs. There is 1,500 bones in the rock wall. The crocodile is not a DINOSAUR!

Ranger Molly's favorite dinosaur has four wings. They find less predators than plant eating dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs are really not extinct! Most of the dinosaurs were killed by a meteor on the coast of Mexico at the same time.

The word Dinosaur was started  to get used  by the mid 1800's!

They chose dinosaur because they thought dinosaur were lizards and the definition of dinosaur is terrible lizard.
