Let these Mesozoic dinosaurs adorn all your documents!
Among the most intriguing and mysterious beasts that ever roamed the earth,
the most mesmerizing can certainly be the dinosaurs of old. We've all heard
of the Brontosaurus, well imagine running across his cousin, the friendly
Barosaurus who measured an incredible 90 feet from the tip of it's head
to the tip of it's tail - that's equivalent to the length of an average
city block! Fortunately, some of these giants were plant-eaters, but among
the famous giants who had an appetite for more meaty substances, we can
look upon Tyrannosaurus Rex, who was over 18 feet tall and weighed 6 tons!
The first signs of dinosaurs date back to the last portion of the Triassic
period, some 200 million years ago when most of the land mass around the
earth was connected. They survived roughly 150 million years, through the
Jurassic period, 135-190 million years ago when the land mass began separating,
and finally dying out around 65 million years ago in a period known as the
Cretaceous period, when the continents began to form. The Ceratopsians were
among the last to become extinct.
