1) Correctly match the development of the ankylosaurus tail characteristic with the period of time:
A) flexible tail- Cretaceous B) flexible tail- Jurassic C) Stiff tail-Jurassic D) Tail club-Jurassic |
What is net gain of heat in surrounding the blood vessels (C)
This did not contribute to the evolution of nasal passageways:
A. High environmental temperature B. Large body size C.Net gain of heat in surrounding the blood vessels D. Evaporation of the moisture from the nasal pasageways |
What is Thagomizer
The four spikes on the tail of Stegosaurus were nicknamed this (as a result of a Far Side comic):
a) Terminator b) Thagomizer c) Thurgodizer d) Thagomader |
What is they were not travelling at high speeds due to long hindlimbs (A)
Stegosaurus locomotion was this fast:
a)They were not travelling at high speeds due to long hindlimbs b) They were fast runners Tc) hey could walk at a moderate speed d) They could barely move due to their giant body |

A) birth B) after learning to walk C) early adolescence D) after sexual maturity |
What is all of the above (D)
The nasal passageway thermoregulated in this way:
A. The cooling effect- Evaporation of moisture in the passageways B. Looping passages draw heat from blood vessels to warm air going to lungs, while blood vessels nearby cooled blood going to brain c. Increasing SA d. All the above |
What is penetrating, slashing or blunt (one of the three)
This was one of three types of impacts inflicted by the tail of the Kentrosaurus:
