Introduction

Hi fellow paleontologist-in-training!

My name is DANA, and this is my FIELD GUIDE. And now your

field guide, too!

Field guides help paleontologists, like us, to keep notes on all the things we’ve learned about dinosaurs. AND THERE IS SO MUCH

TO LEARN!!!

In fact, we’re still learning new things about dinosaurs EVERY DAY. One of the reasons I like LOVE dinosaurs so much is that we don’t know everything about them yet. There’s still so much to DISCOVER!

Everything we know about dinosaurs comes from studying

their fossils and then comparing them to animals that are alive today. After that, it’s time for my favourite part: COMING UP

WITH A THEORY!

Inside my field guide, you’ll find my notes on a ton of dinosaurs and some of the experiments I’ve conducted on them. These are my THEORIES based on what I’ve learned, observed, and imagined.

My hypothesis is that if you like dinosaurs, you’re going to love this field guide.

And sometimes our theories or what we thought we knew about a dinosaur are proven wrong. Which is why it’s important to KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS.
