Dinosaur Science (150 points) In science. hypotheses are developed and then tested using available evidence. This assignment involves researching a topic in dinosaur science and determining not only the currently understood answer to that question, but more importantly how paleontologists went about testing that idea. How do we know the answer? What hypothesis was being tested? What methods were used to evaluate that hypothesis? What evidence was collected to support or reject that hypothesis? Research one of the following topics in dinosaur science. What were the horns of Ceratopsian dinosaurs (e.g. Triceratops) used for? Could the dinosaur Torosaurus be the same animal as the Triceratops? What was the function of the plates and spikes of a Stegosaurus? Did dinosaurs take care of their offspring? How fast could the Tyrannosaurus rex run? Was Tyrannosaurus rex a hunter or a scavenger? What were the tiny arms of a Tyrannosaurus rer used for? Is the Nanotyrannus a real dinosaur genus? Did dinosaurs have lips? Are there any aquatic dinosaurs? (not anyapsids or Mosasaurs…) What was the function of the pachycephalosaur dome? Could the dinosaurs Dracorex and Stygimoloch be the same animal as Pachycephalosaurus?
