How Dinosaurs Got Extinct

Dinosaurs have been extinct for thousands of years. Here is what I believe, a giant meteorite bigger than mount Everest crashed in Mexico. The impact caused  disaster such as strong winds and fire.The explosion could not have went around the whole world, acid rain and the heat killed the rest of them.

Seismosaurus

The seismosaurus is the worlds biggest  dinosaur. It is 50 meters long and 100,000 pounds.

 It was discovered by 4 hikers in New Mexico in 1979. Their names were Arthur Loy, Jan Cummings, Frank Walker, and Bill Norlander. They announced that they found a dinosaur, but the government did not have the tools to dig it up. In 1985 a man named David Gillete decided to dig it up. It took him about 7 years to dig it up.In 1991 he had uncovered it, but he had to try to mach it's bones with other dinosaur bones to see            if it was that dinosaur. He finally announced that it was a new dinosaur. He called it the Seismosaurus which means earthquake lizard. It's name suits it because it was big enough to shake the ground when it walks.










                                                     

Sue The T-rex

In the summer of 1990, a group of workers from the Black Hills Institute were looking for fossils at the Cheyenne River Reservation. They found an Edmontosaurus's bones, and they were ready to leave, but they had a flat tire. Sue Hendrickson decided to explore the cliffs while team went to town to fix the flat. She found two small fossils. When the team came back, she showed the fossils to them,and they identified them as T-rex fossils.

They named the t-rex Sue, after Sue Hendrickson. Sue is the largest T-rex. Sue was auctioned for 8.36 million dollars, That is the most money ever paid for a fossil. Sue permanently remains in the Field Museum Of Natrural History in Chicago, Illnois.
