Unlike most hadrosaurs, Bactrosaurus seems to have lacked a crest on its head, and it also had a row of short spines growing out of its vertebrae that formed a prominent, skin-covered ridge along its back.ĭmitry Bogdanov/Wikimedia Commons/CC BY 3.0īarsboldia (after paleontologist Rinchen Barsbold) pronounced barz-BOLD-ee-ah (Paleontologists believe that hadrosaurs and iguanodonts, which are both technically classified as ornithopods, evolved from a common ancestor). Thick trunk club-shaped spines on the backbone.Īmong the earliest of all the hadrosaurs, or duck-billed dinosaurs-roaming the woodlands of Asia at least 10 million years before more famous descendants like Charonosaurus-Bactrosaurus is important because it possessed certain characteristics (such as a thick, squat body) more often seen in iguanodont dinosaurs. Late Cretaceous (95-85 million years ago) As a reminder, we do not have to be good at drawing in order for it to be fun.Bactrosaurus (Greek for "staff lizard") pronounced BACK-tro-SORE-us This is just some of the early learning and brain development potential when kids draw. The dinosaur and egg poster was done by a 5 year old boy and his mom together. Drawing also stimulates the imagination of children. Adults have figured out that pictures hold meaning, but this is something that kids need to learn. As kids both create and explain about their drawings, they will be using language too, such as the words for colors and shapes, and entire sentences. ![]() Children can draw pictures to share with others. ![]() Just as we use words and language to communicate, we also use pictures to tell about experiences.

Did you know that drawing is a powerful activity for early learning and brain development? Not all kids enjoy drawing but dinosaurs are pretty appealing. ![]()
