It’s International Dinosaur Day! And the start of Jurassic June.

This year’s Jurassic June is pretty special, as it’s the same month that Jurassic Park came out exactly 30 years ago.

So stay tuned for some Jurassic Park stuff as well as just general dinosaur stuff too. Oh and the rats yes the rats will be there too. For they are always there. Everywhere. Legion.

Here’s a Ceratosaurus.

International Dinosaur Day 

Today we celebrate those large, extinct reptiles: dinosaurs. Scientists believe they first appeared about 245 million years ago, at the beginning of the Middle Triassic Epoch, and existed for about 180 million years, going extinct about 66 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous Period. The period when they lived is called the Mesozoic Era. During this time they went through many changes, and various species of dinosaurs replaced other species. Some dinosaurs were bipedal, meaning they walked on two legs, and some were quadrupedal, meaning they walked on all fours. Some switched back and forth. Some were covered with feathers, while others had what was almost like body armor. Some ran fast, and others were slow; most were herbivores, but some were carnivores. There were at least 700 species of dinosaurs, and possibly more than 1,000.

There were big biotic changes at the end of the Cretaceous Period, and many other animals and plants died at that time as well. There are many theories as to why dinosaurs died out, including disease, heat waves, cold spells, changing sea levels, a large amount of volcanic activity, the emergence of egg-eating mammals, or from X-rays from an exploding supernova. One other common theory is that an asteroid smashed to earth, spread ash widely, and shifted the earth's climate. However, it is not believed that all dinosaurs died out at the same time. Rather, it is believed they had been declining during the last part of the Cretaceous Period. Scientists also believe that some dinosaurs may have evolved into birds.

Richard Owen, an English anatomist, came up with the word "Dinosauria" in 1842. The word comes from the Greek word "deinos," meaning terrible or fearfully great, and "sauros," meaning reptile or lizard. He applied the term to three animals that fossilized bones had been found of over the previous few decades. The remains came from reptiles that were both larger and had more vertebrae than any found before. The earliest known published record of dinosaur remains was in 1820, and many fossils were found in the 1820s and 1830s. Many other kinds of dinosaurs were found in the years following the 1842 naming as well. Fossils of dinosaurs have now been found on all seven continents.

How to Observe Dinosaur Day

The best way to celebrate the day is to visit a museum or other dinosaur-related attraction, where fossils or bones may be viewed. You could also watch a documentary about dinosaurs, or a film that features dinosaurs, such as Jurassic Park. If you have children, there are many dinosaur-related activities they could do today.

Scented Salt Dough Dinosaur Fossils! Monday, June 1st, is International Dinosaur 🦖 Day! Are you ready?! I know that, in the UK, many schools and nursery’s are set to reopen on Monday. But, if yours isn’t, or your little ones aren’t going back, you could give this a go instead? We made our very own dinosaur 🦕 fossils out of this fabulous, extra-Sensory, scented salt dough (using flavoured tea, instead of water and a teaspoon of cinnamon - it smells delicious!). We used a two-piece dinosaur and skeleton cookie cutter to make the design (though, this could also be done just by pressing a small dinosaur toy into the dough to make a simple imprint), dried them out in the oven and then used small sponges to paint them with acrylic paint. The sponge painting method meant that the paint just stayed on the top of our ‘fossils’ and left the ‘bones’ of our dinosaurs clearly visible. We used a mixture of greens, browns and yellows for an ‘authentic’ fossil effect! For extra-Sensory fun to stimulate all those budding palaeontologists out there, you could also try hiding your fossils in sand and digging them out! Use small paint brushes to, carefully dust the sand away, just like a real palaeontologist! (great for those fine motor skills!) You could also print or write out the names of the dinosaurs used and use pictures of them ‘unfossilised’ to extend the activity and make a fun matching game! Have fun!

Swampy's #Florida says Happy International Dinosaur Day!

It is unclear just how old Swampy, the swamp ape, is. Though we know he had relations a loooong time ago where he was always one step away from extinction!

Celebrate Dinosaur Day as you wish, but it is suggested that does not include accidentally referring someone as a dinosaur or you might get into extinction trouble, too!
