You need to study more :)
1. Iguanodon
2. Cretaceous?
3. Probably only Tyrannosaurus, since they lived in groups.
5. Umm... originally scientists thought the horn was on it's head (almost common knowledge by now :P ). Can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

Wrong, wrong. Also 'its' not 'it's'.

1. Genus
2. Time period
3. What specimen on the list could have preyed on this?
4. What does its name mean?
5. Two interesting facts
1. Stegosaurus
2.Jurassic
3. Allosaurus
4. Roof lizard
5. The spiked tail is called a thagomizer which comes from Gary Larson's "The Far Side" (I would NEVER miss this LOL) and Stegosaurus had a second brain that controlled reflexes. Also there is one specimen in the USNM that is called the "road kill" specimen because it looks like it was run over

What is the difference between protosomes and deuterosomes? Names some groups from the list that are protosomes. Do the same for deuterosomes

protosomes: blastopore forms into the mouth (e.g. mollusca, arthropoda)
deuterosomes: blastopore forms into the anus (e.g. echinodermata, chordata, hemichordata)

1. Identify
2. What modern day reptiles is it related to?
3. Why did it like living in shallow water?
4. What is unique about their life cycle?
5. Describe its hunting style.
6. What does its name mean?
7. What do paleontologists believe about its coloration?
8. What part was discovered when it was first found?

BONUS: Name an inaccuracy in Jurassic World regarding this specimen (I know this questions gives away the identification) (sorry if you didn't watch it)

This is most likely very inaccurate but, hey, I tried
1. Mosasauridae
2. Monitor lizards
3. It ate fish and ammonites, which were abundant in shallow waters... idk
4. I should probably know this but I don't
5. One of the top marine predators during its time
6. idk but it's in my binder ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
7. Coloration was different from the underside and, uh, the rest of it
8. Skull?

Bonus: Didn't watch it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the dipstick is an intricate device used to measure the amount of rain in a rain gauge. it can also be used as a derogatory term for your meteorology partners

5. They were ambush predators
6. "Meuse River Lizard"
7. Yes basically, dark back with lighter underside
Bonus: the mosasaurs in the movie were too large
The rest were correct :)
