    This is great because it gets right to the point and is very easy to understand. I also like in the beginning how it said that sauropod means lizard footed.

    This website is descriptive and interesting and exactly what we are learning about

    I thought it was interesting that sauropods adapted to have body armor. This is a very good resource.
  • Tucker Hamilton on 02 Dec 12
     
    It used to be thought that the sauropods had a second brain at the base of the tail. Paleontologists now realize that what they thought was a second brain was perhaps an enlargement in the spinal cord in the hip area (although this is not universally accepted), containing nerves and fatty tissue. This enlargement was larger than the animal's tiny brain and may have controlled the animal's hind legs and tail.

    I thought that this was an excellent resource. The information was organized in a clear way. This is a website we should look at in class.

    This is a very resourceful website. It showed what they ate, what they looked like, species of sauropods and many other interesting facts!
  • jmacdonald11 on 03 Dec 12
     
    I thought this was a really good website. It talked about many dinosaurs, there size, climate, and diet.
  • cameronazari on 03 Dec 12
     
    It was very interesting how the sauropods have a tiny head therefore brain and are only plant eaters. The sauropods are very huge!
  • juliadellasalle on 03 Dec 12
     
    This was a very useful website that talked about the size of the sauropods bodies and necks, what they ate, and a lot of other cool facts about them.
  • angelaeast on 03 Dec 12
     
    Sauropods are not heavily armed, but later versions of sauropods had some form of armor which was used as protection against other predators. Sauropods were plant eaters and had a very small brain hecause their head was very small. They were herbavores and ate mostley connifers.

    This is a video on the top six largest sauropods. It compares them size to size, and it also includes the supersaurus!

    This video is what we learned a while back, so it was not very helpful for what we are learning now
  • gracemasters on 01 Dec 12
     
    This was a video that helps to take you in depth into sauropods and what they are.
  • katieneal713 on 01 Dec 12
     
    This video tells all about the largest sauropods and it compares them in size and really explains what a sauropod is.
  • Charlie Wallace on 01 Dec 12
     
    I thought this video did it's job to show the biggest sauropods but, I wasn't impressed. It should no other information, where it lived, what it ate, the height, the weight, etc.
  • alexwimer on 02 Dec 12
     
    This video did not explain, as Charlie said, where these creatures lived, the kinds of food it consumed, it's length and body mass, and the other essential details. All it did include was the names of the 6 largest Sauropods and compared their size to each other.
  • Lily Dines on 02 Dec 12
     
    The largest one's tail is by far the longest compared to body size and is also by far the largest. It kind of looks like the Loch Ness monster!
  • isobelclara on 02 Dec 12
     
    This video is helpful because it compared them in size and told us the names of them. On the other hand it did not give us any other information about the dinosaurs. Like what they eat, where they live and other important details.
  • Kevin Chyung on 02 Dec 12
     
    I wonder if the spikes on their backs were attached to their spines?
  • graceymounsey on 02 Dec 12
     
    Wow that's cool.... Did the sauropods have any predators?

    It is a pretty good website, well it is Wikipedia, but it explained thoroughly what a Apatosaurus was.
  • evamunroehrlich on 01 Dec 12
     
    This is a great website(of course it is because its Wikipedia) but it has the perfect info about the apatosaurus
  • sydturner12 on 01 Dec 12
     
    When we looked at the website we didn't really explore it much so it was nice to see everything on it.
  • katieneal713 on 01 Dec 12
     
    This has really good information on the apatosaurus. It tells you everything you would need to know about this dinosaur.
  • Charlie Wallace on 01 Dec 12
     
    This has very good information but I had a lot of trouble understanding it! It has a lot of fancy science words that I don't know. This could be used to learn some more science vocabulary.

    Apatosaurus, is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived from about 154 to 150 million years ago, during It was one of the largest land animals known to have ever existed, with an average length of 23 m and a mass of at least 16 metric tons.
  • alexwimer on 02 Dec 12
     
    Wikipedia had a variety of facts which will help us in class. The information was fascinating but the website did include some details about the animal that weren't necessary.

    The brontosaurus lived from about 154-150 million years ago.

    This website had a wide variety of dinosaurs. It talked about the dinosaurs habitat and there lifestyle.
  • angelaeast on 03 Dec 12
     
    This is a really good website because it was talking about alls of the different dinosaurs that lived in the cretacious period. in this, we also more about the sauropods, which contributed to a great amount of chatter in class disscusion. Basically what we learnd here was that sauropods had gone extinct, but their relitive, which are lightly armored, roamed all of the continents on the now changing Pangea. We learned about Avian life, plant life, and Marine life, which at the time includedearly versions of fish and sharks, which contributed a lot since all of the marine life dinosaurs before had gone extinct.

    Brontosaurus was one of the largest land animals that ever existed. The dinosaur Brontosaurus is now called Apatosaurus. This enormous plant-eater measured about 70-90 feet long!!!! and about 15 feet tall at the hips.

    This site tells about the brontosaurus which is now called apatosaurus. This dinosaur has a very small intelligence. This was a good website.

    I never knew that some of those dinosaurs existed back then from the chart at the very bottom of the page.

    This site helps to make easier to understand what some of the dinosaurs that existed back then are called
  • angelaeast on 03 Dec 12
     
    Evan, this was a very good site to learn about brontosaurus or apatosaurus. Apatosaurus have a small head which concludes that they have a small brain, and aren't the most intelligent species that had lived during their time. They had a long tail which acted as a counterbalanced to its very long neck. It also was a tool of protection from other predatorsYet the extremely long neck had advantages for a herbavore who would be constantly attacked by hungry predators. The apatosaurus was a very tall sauropod, which was taller than the allosaurus, which was a predator of the time. The allosaurus is not tall enough to try and snap at the head of the dinosaur, and it wouldn't be smart to get near a whip like like tail such as the apatosaurus's. It had a bulky body and ate rocks to help the digestion of its food.An interesting fact that i had learned was that their nostrils were located on the top of their head, but it couldn't be used as a snorkeling device because the apatosaurus lived on land and not near many big masses of water. I had peg like teeth, which resembling ones of a lizard today, and had four legs.

    This website was very useful in talking about the apatosaurus. The apatosaurus was a plant eater (herbivore). This dinosaur had a small head and walked on four legs. The apatosaurus was one of the biggest land animals.

    When Alameda Parkway was being constructed in 1937 to provide access to Red Rocks Park, workers discovered hundreds of dinosaur footprints. These were found to include mostly Iguanodon-like footprints, perhaps from Eolambia. Carnivorous theropod tracks are also present.
  • alexwimer on 02 Dec 12
     
    I learned after reading the information posted on Wikipedia that the majority of the footprints on the ridge are Iguanodon-like footprints.
  • Lily Dines on 02 Dec 12
     
    I didn't know that dinosaur ridge was world famous. This website had very useful information.
  • isobelclara on 02 Dec 12
     
    This wikipedia site was very helful. Unlike most wiki's, this webisite did not flood me with information. It had only the nessicary info. I had no idea that when Alameda Parkway was being constructed in 1937 to provide access to Red Rocks Park, workers discovered hundreds of dinosaur footprints.
  • graceymounsey on 02 Dec 12
     
    That's cool how you can see the actual tracks that dinosaurs made. But how were they fossilized.
  • jmacdonald11 on 03 Dec 12
     
    I thought this was a really good resource about dinosaur ridge. It talked about the fossils there an death dinosaurs are fou d there

    It was very interesting to see how the dinosaur tracks have been preserved into the rock. Dinosaur ridge is a very important geological site, and it is amazing that it is located in Colorado.
  • juliadellasalle on 03 Dec 12
     
    Part of the Morrison Fossil Area National Natural Landmark is Dinosaur Ridge. Morrison, Colorado, that is just west of Denver, is where it is located. Dinosaur Ridge has found very famous dinosaur fossils over the years.

    I found this sight Extremely helpful. I really enjoyed they extra information about dinosaur preservation. I never new there were so many cool things in my backyard.
  • angelaeast on 03 Dec 12
     
    Dinosaur Ridge holds evidence to the past creatures that lived in Colorado. while the Alameda Parkway was being constructed so local citizens and visitors from other places could come and visit the beutiful rock formations of red rocks, tons of dinosaur footprints were found, mostly ones of the iguanadon. In dinosaur Ridge, widley know dinosaurs were found such as the fossils of the allosaurus. The allosaurus is a predator to sauropods.
