Working Together


The article talks about how scientist work together to help find and discover new fossils such as the new baby Mammoth the first of its kind and still parshally intack. This article also talks about how every Archeologist should work together to help find rare and valuable fossils in stead of keeping there discoveries to themselves. In fact the father of an Archeologist quotes "It's a pity. If we worked together, we'd have great results."
I feel that Archeologist should continue to share their discoveries with the rest of the excavation world. The baby Mammoth was found through the help of a native from Sibiria who gave a tip to another Archeologist. Thrilled by his luck he called a fellow Archeologist and they and their team help discover one of the greatest fossils ever found. Thanks to the help of these Archeologist and their team we now understand more about the past and how animals work together. This is only one example of how working together benifits us all. Tell me your thoughts about what you think Archeologist should do.

Stegosaurus vs Megaraptor







V.S.












Stegosaurus


Length - 26-30 feet long (8-9 m) long


Height - 9 feet (2.75 m) tall at the hips


Weight - 6,800 pounds (3100 kg)


Facts: The Stegosaurus has 17 bony plates along it's back and 4 spikes on it's flexible tail.


Megaraptor


Length - 20-26 feet (6-8 m) long


Height - roughly 6 ft (2 m) tall at the hips


Weight - Unknown


Facts: The Megaraptor has 2 large sickle-like claws on it's toes and the Megaraptor is also very quick and agile.


Without a doupt the Stegosaurus would win. These dinosaurs both have a natural weapon, a natural defense and lighting fast reflexes.


The Stegosaurus has it's mighty tail as its natural weapon however the megaraptor only has it's microscopic toe claw. The Stegosaurus tail would completly crush the Megaraptor before it's toe claw could come even close to the Stegosaurus. Sure the Megaraptor also has it claws on its hands but like I said it could not even come close the stegosaurus. Not to mention the Megaraptors miniscule claws could not even injure the Stegosaurus.
The Megaraptor's defense is the exact same thing as it's natural weapon, it's pathetic toe claws and hand claws. While the Stegosaurus not only has it's tail spikes, but it also has it's 17 spikes along it's back. Whenever the Megaraptor even thinks about attacking it will be jabbed by the Stegosaurus's back spikes leaving it horribly injured.
It is true that the Megaraptor has superor running speed, but that only proves that it would be quick run away in a fight. Not to mention the Stegosaurus's tail is lighting fast and can easily stop the Megaraptor in it's tracks and it woul never run away from a fight. The Megaraptor is actually said to run away from a fight says many archeologist.
Who do you think will win?
