Full Description
This exam addresses key aspects of dinosaur paleobiology, focusing on morphological adaptations and behavioral patterns as evidenced by fossil data. An investigation of skeletal structures and fossil footprints offers insights into the lives of these ancient organisms.
The significance of understanding dinosaur morphology and behavior informs not only paleontological studies but also evolutionary biology, providing a foundation for discussions about adaptation, survival strategies, and ecological roles in prehistoric ecosystems.
Students will be assessed on their ability to articulate the connections between dinosaur morphology and hypothesized behaviors based on fossil evidence. Specific focus will be on how these attributes can reveal information about the environment in which they thrived.
Candidates should also be prepared to discuss the impact of recent discoveries and technologies in furthering our understanding of dinosaur life.
Sample Questions
- What skeletal features provide evidence for dinosaur locomotion and behavior?
- How do fossilized footprints contribute to our understanding of dinosaur social behavior?
