Although the dinosaur craze has dried up a little over the chapters of major Hollywood films, these extraordinary animals remain a safe bet for children aged 7 to 77. If this is your case or for a future course, I recommend a very surprising site: The Dinosaur Database.
As the name suggests, a database dedicated exclusively to these legendary animals. A huge database. It is even The world's largest database of dinosaurs on the Internet.
Find out more about more than a thousand dinosaur species
1365 precisely. If you're looking for information about dinosaurs, check out The Dinosaur Database. The site is in English, but its use is very intuitive.
Pupil, student or teacher, you will find an impressive set of cards with names, images and the state of knowledge on the different species. This site is built from PaleoDB, a scientific database assembled by hundreds of paleontologists over the past two decades.
In addition to amazing illustrations for each species presented, the site allows you to do research. Searches by name, but also by period or by region. You can even ask the site to show you a random dinosaur. You will also see where exactly in the world the fossils for each species were discovered on the occasion of Archaeological excavations.
A map of the evolution of the earth over more than 750 million years
This online database, to say the least, is a real gem. The Dinosaur Database an interactive world map that allows us to visualise the evolution of our planet over 750 million years. Dizzy.
The latter, which is manipulated with the end of the mouse, helps to see the changes over time. You can locate a current city on the map when it did not exist yet. Thanks to a drop-down menu at the top right of the rather clever screen, the creators of the site invite you to make leaps in time. Not chip jumps, but giant … jumps
You will be able to make a leap when the first plants, insects, flowers and of course the first dinosaurs appeared, all the way to Homo sapiens. Spectacular and informative.
An unusual, exciting and completely free resource.
