Nonetheless, his discoveries dawned new light on the prehistoric world of dinosaurs and piqued interest about them all over the world. Since then these colossal reptiles have managed to keep us captivated! Over the years, we have learned a lot about our favorite prehistoric animals. In February this year, the Royal Mint issued a series of 50p pieces commemorating famous dinosaur discoveries - and Iggy was featured there too. Iggy is on the left of Maidstone's Coat of Arms

When it comes to reasons for the extinction of dinosaurs, the effects of greenhouse gasses cannot be overlooked. It is believed that once the debris settled, the greenhouse gasses caused a chaotic change in the atmosphere. Surely, it is safe to assume that the human race may not have crossed paths with the dinosaurs, but we love and admire them all the same. Learning about them is not only fun, but it can be very fascinating as well! The dinosaur joins tree sculptures, a new bus shelter and flowerbeds as part of a series of measures to improve the area. Dinosaurs are prehistoric reptiles that have lived on Earth from about 245 million years ago to the present. Modern birds are one kind of dinosaur because they share a common ancestor with non-avian dinosaurs. Severe climatic changes and abrupt change in water levels all around the world further made things worse for the dinosaurs that were already starving.

The discovery was said to be on the most significant of the Victorian period, helping to further understanding of the dinosaur era and enabling palaeontologists to figure out the anatomy of the mighty Iguanadon.

We both have two boys who are super interested in dinosaurs," said Behnken. "We collected up all the dinosaurs between our two houses and 'Tremor,' the Apatosaurus, got the vote from the boys to make the trip into space today with us." Once dinosaurs went extinct, they were forgotten for a long period of time. For hundreds and thousands of years, humans roamed the Earth without even realizing that the same lands had witnessed the rise and fall of creatures as majestic as the dinosaurs. A stowaway aboard SpaceX's first mission to launch astronauts to the International Space Station may have set a new record — the most sequins to enter Earth orbit. The cause of their mass extinction is highly debated. Some scientists believe that the planet was hit by a major asteroid that eventually led to the extinction of dinosaurs. John Edwards, Street Scene Operations Manager at Maidstone Borough Council, said: “There are also plans for bicycle silhouettes, a bug hotel, educational boards as well as a cast-iron Mote Park entrance archway, which should be completed by September.It is also possible that the real cause was a gradual shift in climate and the change in sea level. Irrespective of what really caused the extinction, it won’t be wrong to say that the Mother Nature was a bit hard on these prehistoric giants, ultimately causing them to vanish from the face of the Earth forever. Made by Ty, the same company that made Beanie Babies, Tremor was one of the first dolls introduced in 2018 as part of the Flippables line. Tremor is covered in hundreds of small, dual-color sequins. Flip the sequins to one side and the dino turns a sparkly light blue. Flip them the other way and the Apatosaurus takes on a shiny shade of pink.
