Tone Blakesley: 我在苏格兰斯凯岛发现了131个中侏罗世恐龙足迹,这其中包括兽脚类恐龙(巨齿龙类)和蜥脚类恐龙(鲸龙类近亲)的足迹。这些足迹保存完好,展现了当时古环境的景象。通过对足迹形态和步幅的分析,我们可以推断出这些恐龙的种类、大小和行走速度。此外,我还制作了一部纪录片来展示这些发现,并利用无人机和摄影测量技术对足迹进行了三维建模。 这些足迹的发现非常重要,因为中侏罗世的岩层在全球范围内非常稀少,而斯凯岛的这些岩层为我们研究恐龙的演化提供了宝贵的信息。通过对足迹的研究,我们可以了解到当时恐龙的活动范围、生活方式以及它们与环境之间的相互作用。 在研究过程中,我克服了很多困难,例如恶劣的天气条件、足迹的隐蔽性以及足迹分类学的复杂性。但是,最终的结果证明了我的努力是值得的。这些足迹不仅为我们提供了关于恐龙演化的重要信息,也为我们展示了自然界的奇妙之处。 Garrett: 我们采访了Tone Blakesley,他详细介绍了他在苏格兰斯凯岛发现的131个恐龙足迹,这些足迹提供了关于中侏罗世时期恐龙生活方式和古环境的宝贵信息。Tone Blakesley还制作了一部纪录片来配合他的研究论文,这使得他的研究成果更容易被大众所理解和接受。 Sabrina: 这次采访中,我们了解到Tone Blakesley及其团队是如何发现并研究这些恐龙足迹的,以及他们是如何利用现代技术来重建当时的古环境的。此外,我们还讨论了鸟龙的分类问题,以及一块带有恐龙足迹的巨石在澳大利亚一所学校门口放置了20年才被发现的趣闻。
