Geocache Description:



Ahhh, Welcome to Jus'GrabIt Park. We are celebrating the history of the 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park by planting a few caches. Now you get to capture each dino-cache while we refresh you on trivia from the movie. We started the SWAG with dino-themed items and invite you to swap likewise if possible.

25 years ago, one movie made history. Jurassic Park captured the imaginations of audiences around the world and transported them to a place where dinosaurs still roamed the earth. The story told of huge advancements in scientific technology that enabled a mogul to create an island full of living dinosaurs. John Hammond had invited four individuals, along with his two grandchildren, to join him at Jurassic Park. But did everything go according to plan? A park employee attempted to steal dinosaur embryos, critical security systems were shut down and it became a race for survival with dinosaurs roaming freely over the park.


Brachiosaurus
It was first described by American paleontologist Elmer S. Riggs in 1903 from fossils found in the Grand River Canyon (now Colorado River) of western Colorado, in the United States. Riggs named the dinosaur Brachiosaurus altithorax, declaring it "the largest known dinosaur". Brachiosaurus had a disproportionately long neck, small skull, and large overall size, all of which are typical for sauropods. However, the proportions of Brachiosaurus are unlike most sauropods: the forelimbs were longer than the hindlimbs, which resulted in a steeply inclined trunk, and its tail was shorter in proportion to its neck than other sauropods of the Jurassic.
