Describe the plate tectonic settings where basalt is formed, where the same rock can be exposed to high pressures and then to high pressure and heat. Name the geographic places where these samples were obtained. Describe three processes that occurred in what has since become Ontario and the rocks that were produced by these processes. Name some of the first animals that were found on land. Name two plants that exist today which had relatives that formed gigantic trees in the Carboniferous.
Some scientists use bird behaviour to support their theories about dinosaur behaviour.
Use the interactive display at the large screen to learn whether paleontologists think maiasaurs walked on two or four feet. Use your knowledge of fossils to suggest two types of fossils that would help scientists to determine how dinosaurs ran. Explain how this can be determined. Describe the primary predator, water depth and distance from shore at time of deposition for each of the three communities that have been found. Identify and draw the largest predator that has been found in the Fossil Ridge Raymond Quarry.
