March Highlights
Hollywood's Misrepresentation: The Real Jurassic World
When you hear "Jurassic," what comes to mind? If you think of the iconic movie franchise, you likely envision a tropical paradise teeming with fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex, agile Velociraptors, and robust Triceratops. However, this depiction is quite misleading. In reality, none of these dinosaurs roamed the Earth during the actual Jurassic Period, nor did tropical jungles exist. To learn about the authentic dinosaurs of this era and their intriguing environment, click here.
New Ferocious Dinosaur in "Jurassic World: Dominion"
A colossal and fearsome carnivorous dinosaur is set to debut in the upcoming sixth installment of the Jurassic Park series, Jurassic World: Dominion. This new beast is among the largest predatory dinosaurs known to science, measuring an estimated 12 to 13 meters (39 to 43 feet) in length, rivaling the famous T. rex. Fans worldwide are eagerly speculating about the epic showdown that may unfold between these two titanic predators. Discover the identity of this formidable prehistoric creature here.
Notable Paleontological Breakthroughs from March
Imagine bizarre sharks with wings like manta rays swimming the oceans 90 million years ago, while ankylosaurs searched the earth for resources and refuge. Additionally, a dinosaur footprint site spanning over 9,000 square meters is in need of protection, and researchers may have uncovered the oldest known titanosaur! These examples represent just a fraction of the exciting paleontological discoveries unveiled in the last month. Review the most significant findings and updates from March 2021 here.
Special Featured Story
This month's highlighted story, originally published in October 2020, is titled The Dinosaur That Went Extinct Twice. The Brontosaurus parvus skeleton, captured by Rob DiCaterino, showcases one of the most recognizable prehistoric animals—the "thunder lizard." Renowned for its impressive name and enormous stature, the Brontosaurus has cemented its place in popular culture as one of the most famous dinosaurs. However, despite its fame, scientists dismissed its existence for over a century. Delve into the intricate tale surrounding the classification of this iconic dinosaur here.
The objective of Tales of Prehistory is to present unique narratives that educate, entertain, and inform our readers about the remarkable history of our planet. We strive for a deeper understanding of today’s complexities by appreciating the past. We look forward to bringing you more intriguing stories next month. Stay tuned!
