3 Types of Dinosaurs

These are more of the drawings done for 3 nice little girls who sat behind me in Church on Sunday...when we were on vacation in Colorado.  The drawings have a gray shadow on the because were photographed with my cell phone and then the drawings were sent home with the little girls for them to color. . . so I did not have the original drawings to scan.   And, YES girls can like dinosaurs. . . and Science, and Math!    I am married to a woman who graduated in Geology and worked as a geologist for 7 years! 

T. rex mother at Hatching Time with 4 eggs

Newer theories say that the large adult T. rex were slow but their young were built much more lightly and would have been able to chase prey species into an ambush where the big full grown adults would be waiting to ambush the prey!  

Parasaurolophus Mother with her Chick

Parasaurolophus was a crested Hadrosaur or Duck-Billed dinosaur.  Some paleontologists think that this hollow crest was used as a sounding chamber...kind of like a trombone.  A whole herd of Parasaurolophus might have been able to make a sound so loud that it would stun a Tyrannosaur!  

Triceratops Mother with spots and her spotted chick

The horns on a young Triceratops would have been of little use in defense...on the other hand, the horns on a full grown Triceratops faced forward and were over a meter in length.  This is a more cartoonish drawing.  It is very likely that dinosaurs and pterosaurs never had eyelashes, but in cartoon drawings large eyelashes are what indicate a female.
