Today's the day! It's launch weekend for the uber long-awaited 4th iteration of the Jurassic Park film franchise: Jurassic World. A key feature of this go-around is the exploitation of resurrected extinct sea creatures in a "Sea World" inspired water theme park.
In tandem to the theatrical roll-out of the movie, it's only fitting that we set our Dinocam back - this Jurassic World weekend - to the "real" realm of the mid Jurassic seas of central North America. Back then, almost half of the continent was submerged beneath a shallow inland sea, stretching from the Rocky Mountains to the Applachians, and reaching from what is now Canada into Mexico - a rather large pond, to be sure.
In our sights today is a giant coil-shelled ammonite. With their flexible tentacles, ammonites are, in fact, distant relatives to the squid and octopus of today; and flourished throughout the seas of the Mesozoic Era, before disappearing 65 million years ago, alongside the demise of the non-avian dinosaurs.
Check back throughout "Jurassic Weekend" for more Dinocam updates!
