3. Explain or discuss the following within a group or to an instructor
a. Why is the Tyrannosaurus Rex considered to have been the king of the dinosaurs?
b. What other dinosaurs are also considered dominate “king” species?
c. Why did dinosaurs lay eggs.
d. What types of skin did dinosaurs likely have? Give species examples of each.
Although much rarer than fossilized bones, skin prints from dinosaurs have also been found in the fossil record. Many prints highlight bumpy skin, small or large non-overlapping scales and in some species bony plates. Hadrosaurs have some of the best preservation of skin prints, showing non-overlapping bumpy scales, sometimes nearly hexagonal in shape. Dinosaurs like Stegosaurus had bony plates on their skin, possibly for protection, thermoregulation, sexual advertising or a combination of the three. The Ankylosaur had osteoderms - bony projections and plates - embedded its its skin that provided a complete armor coating.
