I finally had a little time to place this small series out as part of the come out and play contest 2012 - 2013.
I had this one planned for some time but after doing NightOwl74's Sesame Street series I had to use the 'question in a cache' idea!
The Jurassic Park series will require you to answer all six questions to get the coordinates to the bonus cache.
All cache containers blend in with their surroundings and are located on another Fredericton trail with is well groomed in the winter, and could be walked, biked, etc. in the summer.
Kid's (of all ages) and parents or caching buddy may have to use some team work to answer these questions, but most will be easily answer by any dino buff.
Make sure you remember which answers go with each cache, but the bonus will have an answer check so you are not sent on a wild goose chase.
The bonus will contain many treasures as well as three special dino eggs for the first three kids that find all 6 and the bonus.
All 6 traditional caches are in water tight containers so the log sheet are not in baggies and there is some room to trade, but please bring a writing stick.
Enjoy! Information: This dino was a herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur that lived during the late Mastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous Period, around 68 to 65.5 million years ago in what is now North America. It was one of the last non-avian dinosaur genera to appear before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. Its name literally means "three-horned face". Bearing a large bony frill and three horns on its large four-legged body, and conjuring similarities with the modern rhinoceros, Triceratops is one of the most recognizable of all dinosaurs and the best known ceratopsid. It shared the landscape with and was preyed upon by the fearsome Tyrannosaurus, though it is less certain that the two did battle in the manner often depicted in traditional museum displays and popular images. The function of the frills and three distinctive facial horns has long inspired debate. Traditionally these have been viewed as defensive weapons against predators. More recent theories, noting the presence of blood vessels in the skull bones of ceratopsids, find it more probable that these features were primarily used in identification, courtship and dominance displays, much like the antlers and horns of modern reindeer, mountain goats, or rhinoceros beetles.
Congrats to Geodimeter for the FTF!
