The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library introduces nonfiction to the beginning reader and serves as a great resource to help teachers make abstract scientific concepts come to life! As the students are entertained by the intriguing stories, they will also learn about fascinating facts that will keep them reading to learn even more.
Happy #FossilFriday, check out this skull from a juvenile Gryposaurus! These hadrosaurs called North America their home roughly 75 million years ago, and this particular individual would have enjoyed the lush jungle that makes up the Kaiparowits Formation. (1/2) #paleontology#dinosaur#science

This is a linocut of the Parasaurolophus dinosaur, the Late Cretaceous duck-billed hadrosaur with the strange hollow crest on its skull like its own built-in nose trumpet.
The instantly recognizable, large, elaborate cranial crest makes the Parasaurolophus one of the most popular dinosaurs today. It is believed that the crest allowed these animals to distinguish between 🧵
Happy #FossilFriday, these are the broken lower leg bones (fibulae) of the tyrannosaurs Teratophoneus and Lythronax! Partial healing has occurred in both specimens, indicating the animals lived with the breaks for a short time before dying. (1/2) #paleontology#pathology#paleopathology#dinosaur#science
Happy #FossilFriday, here's a natural cast of a hadrosaur track from the Blackhawk Formation in Utah! Groups of hadrosaurs walked across a squishy swamp during the Early Cretaceous, leaving behind prints that would have later been filled in by sand. (1/2) #paleontology#ichnology#dinosaur#science
It took some exploring to find our way out of the box canyon to the top of the box: the old trail has washed out. Then more wandering to find a route around the deep canyon and over to Kitchen Mesa.
The top of Kitchen Mesa is startlingly white: the Todilto formation, dolomite and gypsum. The Kitchen Mesa trail goes through the old Ceolophysis #dinosaur quarry. The whole area is beautiful Colorado Plateau #geology.
Happy #FossilFriday! This is the partial pelvis of Supersaurus, just one of many sauropods living in the Morrison Formation during the Late Jurassic. It was certainly among the largest, with estimates putting its body length at easily over 100 feet. (1/2) #paleontology#dinosaur#science
