About this power pointWe have been reading about fossil hunters and searching for

fossils.

What are fossils?Fossils are a bone from a

prehistoric creature from long ago.

Discoveries that changed paleontologist minds

Paleontologists once doubted that dinosaurs were on New Zealand but they were wrong because Joan Wiffen found a dinosaur fossil.

The largest dinosaursPaleontologist thought that the Tyrannosaurs Rex was the biggest

dinosaur but it wasn't. The Gigantasouras was the biggest meat eating dinosaur.

How they display fossilsThey display fossils by putting a lot of special glue on the bones

to stick together. And then they put it on display when the glue is done.
