Dino Death Trap
2007 · 52 MIN · IMDB 7.3 · 64 VOTES · DIR. Jenny Kubo
Overview
The Pit of Death is what some scientists are calling it, others "Dinosaur Pompeii". Envision dinosaur corpses stacked one on top of each other, piled four and five high. But not just any old dinosaurs, new, well-preserved skeletons - many that have never been seen before. A bizarre T. rex ancestor, a triceratops ancestor, an ancient crocodilian and nearly 40 different species dating back 160 million years, a time in dinosaur history of which little is known. The graves of these new species are uncovered deep in the dry and desolate Junggar Basin of western China and a team of palaeontologists unearth answers to this virtual black hole in dinosaur evolution. Watch as the bones are examined, reconstructed and brought back to life, using high resolution CGI, and slowly probe the mystery of who these dinosaurs were, how they died and what they can tell us about the Lost Age of the Dinosaurs.

00:05:03 how did some dinos go from this...
00:07:12 If we look at the dinosaur record from every continent on the planet
00:09:18 about a meter wide and nearly a meter deep.
00:11:25 and on the sides of the block, we began to see the remains
00:13:25 The only way that can occur is if some high impact force is applied.
00:15:25 on the dino family tree.
00:17:30 And so Guanlong takes up the mantle of the first of his kind
00:19:29 With the discovery of the Gobi dinosaurs
00:21:37 and one can make a sort of cyber-Guanlong machine come alive.
00:23:45 With the discovery of Guanlong, the scientists can now see
00:25:44 Guanlong was, you know, weighed in at the hundreds of pounds.
00:27:28 might have wiped out so many species
00:29:15 Here are animals that are in many ways ten times bigger
00:30:55 It's just all around easier and safer.
00:32:45 very small organisms and only later diversified into much larger forms.
00:34:39 may lie in the harsh dance of eat or be eaten.
00:36:46 and folded in soft muds.
00:38:50 this volcanic goo actually could trap a small therapod.
00:40:46 could require the same amount of force that's needed to lift a medium-sized car.
00:43:14 hurling ash miles into the air, in all directions.
00:45:28 Guanlong is a very important specimen because it provides a snapshot
03:00:05 maybe to 80 tons in size
