What if dinosaurs had not become extinct? How would they evolve? What would happen to mammals? I have addressed this in the document below. Enjoy!

Dinosaurs of Britain
This is a video that I made for my English project, together with three friends. Note that I am NOT yet a paleontologist but aspire to be one.

Ankylosaurus
Here is the second comic strip, all about an awesome battle between an Ankylosaurus and a T-rex.
To all T-rex fans, WHAT COULD YOU HAVE EXPECTED!
Proceratosaurus
This a new comic strip of a Proceratosaurus and an unfortunate event (for him at least) with a cetiosaurus. Enjoy!
If you have a dinosaur you want me to make something like this for, tell me!
Sinornithosaurus
They’ve done it again. Sinornithosaurus is the third dinosaur we know the colour of and, because it comes from the same place as sinosauropteryx and confuciusornis, it would be great in the coloured dinosaur film. In fact it was shown on Planet dinosaur recently as a gliding dinosaur with a venomous bite.
Awesome

Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Stuttgart
This year I went to Heidelberg and Stuttgart on holiday. Whilst in Stuttgart I visited the State museum for natural history. The museum is split into two parts, the Schloss Rosenstein is for stuffed animals and the Museum am Lowentor is only for German prehistoric animals (so no t-rex, triceratops, velociraptor or any of those really common dinosaurs.) This is about the great central display showing a diorama of late Triassic life.
The most famous of the dinos is plateosaurus, the most famous triassic animal (joint with coelophysis.) But far from its fairy tail land of America ,of where it did not live, plateosaurus is a German citizen. But it wasn’t the only herbivore on the block. A even larger dino called gresslyosaurus also lived there. Much controversy surrounds this 9 metre beast as many say that it is just a large plateosaurus. The museum doesn’t so I dont know who to believe.
You may ask what ate these beasts if there were no coelophysis or postasuchus. Well, coelophysis’s relative liliensternus. This beast probably hunted in packs to bring down the huge prosauropods. As well as him there was also procompsognathus who hunted insects and squabbled over the remains of liliensternus kills.
But most importantly there are the pterosaurs. The first pterosaur was eudimorphodon. This tiny German pterosaur was the ancestor to pteranodon, pterodactylus (German but also French so was not mentioned in the museum) and all the other pterosaurs.

New dinosaur found at brickworks
Called the Ashdown maniraptoran, this is the smallest european dinosaur. It is about 33-40cm long and looks like a bird. It hasn’t got a proper name yet, but when more of it is found, it will gain its own name.

Dinos from Mexico
So far there are a few dinosaurs known in Mexico. One is the imfamous albertosaurus who lived absolutely everywhere. Others such as lambeosaurus are also known.
But there were some new ones. There was the Coahuilaceratops. Little is known about this creature because only the skull has been found. What we do know is that its brow horns were huge!
Now for the confusing one, Labocania. We are not sure if it is a tyrannosaur (pic1) or a ceratosaur (pic2, with the other Mexican dinos). At that time tyrannosaurs were the only big carnivores (or so we thought). But it had spikes and smaller arms like a ceratosaur. Others think it is a carnosaur! The case is still out.
Which is the most likely depiction of Labocania?
