I use to press all the hands and make the sin, talk, play music or light up. My niece and nephew loved it.

Just a friendly reminder about this week's quiz question. You've been asked: What was the name of the superocean that once encompassed the Earth and surrounded the supercontinent Pangaea? Tethys, Mirovia, Panthalassa, Khanty, Iapetus or Ural?Today's dino: Name: Chondrosteosaurus Pronunciation: Kon-dro-ste-oh-sore-usMeaning of name: "Cartilage and bone lizard", as it was once thought that the internal passages in the vertebrae were filled with cartilage.Species: C. gigasSize: Uncertain due to a lack of fossils.Family: UncertainDiet: HerbivoreFirst fossils found: Known only from neck vertebrae discovered in the Wessex Formation of the Isle of Wight, England. Named by English palaeontologist, Sir Richard Owen, in 1876.Lived: 125 million years ago during the Barremian stage of the Early Cretaceous in what is now the Isle of Wight, England.

Tix Mascot , LadyPorthos , Joey , well done for correctly guessing the answer to this week's quiz question. You were asked: What was the name of the superocean that once encompassed the Earth and surrounded the supercontinent Pangaea? Tethys, Mirovia, Panthalassa, Khanty, Iapetus or Ural?
Answer: Panthalassa. Meaning "All sea", Panthalassa covered nearly 70% of the Earth's surface (360 square kilometres), with the supercontinent Pangaea taking up less than half.
Today's dino:
Name: Anoplosaurus
Pronunciation: Ah-no-plo-sore-us
Meaning of name: "Unarmoured lizard" or "Unarmed lizard", as it was once thought to have not had any armour.
Species: A. curtonotus
Size: Estimated to have measured around 5 metres long.
Family: Nodosauridae
Diet: Herbivore
First fossils found: Known mostly from vertebrae discovered in the Cambridge Greensand Formation of eastern England. Was thought to be a relative of Iguanodon, as its fossils, when first discovered, were mixed with those of a Camptosaurid. Named by British palaeontologist, Harry Govier Seeley, in 1879. Originally thought to be a species of Acanthopholis.
Lived: 100 million years ago during the Cenomanian stage of the Late Cretaceous in what is now eastern England.
