Utah ve Colorado’nun nefes kesici manzaralar\u0131 aras\u0131nda yer alan Dinosaur Ulusal An\u0131t\u0131, kadim ge\u00e7mi\u015fe bir kan\u0131t niteli\u011findedir. Bir zamanlar tarih \u00f6ncesi ya\u015famla kaynayan geli\u015fen bir ekosistem olan bu ulusal hazine, art\u0131k ziyaret\u00e7ilere Dinozorlar \u00c7a\u011f\u0131’na bir bak\u0131\u015f sunuyor.<\/p>\n\n
Dinosaur Ulusal An\u0131t\u0131’n\u0131n hikayesi, 1909’da bir hazine de\u011ferinde dinozor kal\u0131nt\u0131s\u0131na rastlayan \u00fcnl\u00fc bir fosil avc\u0131s\u0131 olan Earl Douglass ile ba\u015fl\u0131yor. Douglass’un Apatosaurus, Diplodocus ve di\u011fer ikonik dinozorlar\u0131n iskeletlerini i\u00e7eren \u00e7\u0131\u011f\u0131r a\u00e7an ke\u015fifleri, \u00fclke \u00e7ap\u0131ndaki b\u00fcy\u00fck m\u00fczelerin koleksiyonlar\u0131n\u0131 doldurmaya yard\u0131mc\u0131 oldu.<\/p>\n\n
Douglass’un ke\u015fiflerinin muazzam \u00f6nemini fark eden h\u00fck\u00fcmet, 1915’te Dinosaur Ulusal An\u0131t\u0131’n\u0131 kurdu. An\u0131t\u0131n merkezinde, 1958’den beri karma\u015f\u0131k bir cam binayla korunan zengin bir dinozor kemi\u011fi yata\u011f\u0131 olan ta\u015f oca\u011f\u0131 duvar\u0131 yer al\u0131yor.<\/p>\n\n
Douglass’un ilk ke\u015fifleri dinozorlar\u0131 anlamam\u0131z i\u00e7in temel olu\u015ftururken, paleontologlar Dinosaur Ulusal An\u0131t\u0131’nda yeni bulu\u015flar yapmaya devam ediyor. Son ke\u015fif gezileri, k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck y\u0131rt\u0131c\u0131 dinozorlar\u0131n kal\u0131nt\u0131lar\u0131n\u0131, terapsit ayak izlerini ve yeni bir teropod dinozor t\u00fcr\u00fcn\u00fc ortaya \u00e7\u0131kard\u0131.<\/p>\n\n
Dinosaur Ulusal An\u0131t\u0131’ndaki en heyecan verici son ke\u015fiflerden biri de Racetrack’tir; dinozor hanedanl\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131n y\u00fckseli\u015fi s\u0131ras\u0131nda hayat\u0131n bir anl\u0131k g\u00f6r\u00fcnt\u00fcs\u00fcn\u00fc ortaya \u00e7\u0131karan kavisli bir kaya kesiti. Paleontologlar, b\u00f6lgede k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck y\u0131rt\u0131c\u0131 dinozorlar\u0131n varl\u0131\u011f\u0131na i\u015faret eden \u00e7ok say\u0131da yuva, omurgal\u0131 kemi\u011fi ve belirgin \u00fc\u00e7 parmakl\u0131 iz bulmu\u015flard\u0131r.<\/p>\n\n
Bir di\u011fer b\u00fcy\u00fcleyici ke\u015fif ise yakla\u015f\u0131k 185 milyon y\u0131l \u00f6ncesine ait \u00e7ukurlarla dolu kumta\u015f\u0131 tabakas\u0131d\u0131r. Bu tabaka, memelilerin arkaik atalar\u0131 olan terapsitler taraf\u0131ndan b\u0131rak\u0131lm\u0131\u015f y\u00fczlerce k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck, yuvarlak ayak izi i\u00e7erir. Bu ayak izlerinin ke\u015ffi, paleontologlar\u0131 Erken Jura d\u00f6nemindeki ya\u015fam\u0131n \u00e7e\u015fitlili\u011fini yeniden d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnmeye y\u00f6neltmi\u015ftir.<\/p>\n\n
Kurakl\u0131k d\u00f6nemlerinden birinde, 20’den fazla teropod dinozor \u00f6lm\u00fc\u015f ve ge\u00e7ici bir g\u00f6lette korunmu\u015ftur. Gen\u00e7 bireyleri de i\u00e7eren bu iyi korunmu\u015f iskeletler, bu eski y\u0131rt\u0131c\u0131lar\u0131n davran\u0131\u015flar\u0131 ve anatomileri hakk\u0131nda de\u011ferli bilgiler sa\u011flamaktad\u0131r.<\/p>\n\n
Dinosaur Ulusal An\u0131t\u0131’ndaki en son ke\u015fiflerden biri, yakla\u015f\u0131k 104 milyon y\u0131l \u00f6nce ya\u015fam\u0131\u015f bir sauropod dinozor olan Abydosaurus mcintoshi’dir. Abydosaurus’un ke\u015ffi, dinozor tarihinde bir bo\u015flu\u011fu doldurmaya yard\u0131mc\u0131 olarak, bu uzun boyunlu devlerin, o d\u00f6nemde geriledikleri d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcld\u00fc\u011f\u00fc bir zamanda Kuzey Amerika’da hala geli\u015fti\u011fini g\u00f6stermektedir.<\/p>\n\n
