Texas Prairies and Lakes
Dinosaur Division
Most of the dinosaurs that lived in Texas were very large and weighed tons! Use a little math to comprehend the weight of these dinosaurs by comparing them to something we are familiar with!
If one small car, such as a Volkswagen Beetle, weighs 2 tons how many cars would it take to weigh the same as:
| Dinosaur | Weight | = Number of Cars? |
|---|---|---|
| Tyranasaurus Rex | 7 tons | _ |
| Alamosaurus | 30 tons | _ |
| Torosaurus | 9 tons | _ |
