We are learning about dinosaurs in day camp, so I thought I should place some geocaches to share what I am learning. There are four caches in my Dino Alley series, but they are all transitionals so you can do them in any order.
These are supposed to be fun and educational, but not too hard. I hope you like them.
Stegosaurus is a genus of armored stegosaurid dinosaur. They lived during the Late Jurassic period, some 155 to 150 million years ago in what is now western North America. In 2006, a specimen of Stegosaurus was announced from Portugal, showing that they were present in Europe as well. Due to its distinctive tail spikes and plates, Stegosaurus is one of the most recognizable dinosaurs.
A large, heavily built, herbivorous quadruped, Stegosaurus had a distinctive and unusual posture, with a heavily rounded back, short forelimbs, head held low to the ground and a stiffened tail held high in the air. The spikes were most likely used for defense, while the plates have also been proposed as a defensive mechanism. Stegosaurus had a relatively low brain-to-body mass ratio. It had a short neck and small head, meaning it most likely ate low-lying bushes and shrubs.
The cache is a park and grab. Parking is available very close to the cache, on the shoulder or roadside. Please return it to it's original spot. No room for trades and BYOP. Good luck and happy caching
