Tiny Velociraptor Skulls - Lapworth Museum of Geology

I went to the Lapworth Museum of Geology at the University of Birmingham. Check out the skull on that dinosaur, phwoar.

Velociraptors, I'm very sorry to say to all those Jurassic Park fans, were the size of very large chickens...

Other fun dinosaur facts!

-The T. Rex lived closer to the moon landing that to the Stegosaurus

-The heaviest dinosaur was the Brachiosaurus and it weighed as much as 17 elephants

-Here is a picture I took of a fossil at the Natural History Museum in London which is a Coelophysis which died with a crocodile still in its belly being digested

-The word 'dinosaur' comes from the Greek words deinos (terrible) and sauros (lizard).

I spent 5 years at Birmingham and never knew that was there....maybe I should have got out of the Med Bar and The Guild more....

Rhamphorhynchus is the first fossil that you didn't know. (I think)
