Dinosaur Names
http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/fosrec/MunGun4.html
Triceratops is a great name, but what does it mean? If you’ve ever asked yourself why a dinosaur is given a certain name, take a look at this site. Along with instructions for a fun game dealing with dinosaurs, you can learn to decipher the meaning of the names. (Tri-, for three, cerat-, from Greek meaning horn, and –ops, from Greek meaning face gives the name for. Therefore, triceratops means a dinosaur with a three-horned face.)

Humboldt State’s Natural History Museum has put many of its collections up on line. You can view the images from the cases and click them to enlarge.
Living Fossils of the Deep
http://www.mnh.si.edu/livingfossils/
Living Fossils of the Deep is an online exhibition from the Smithsonian. It features creatures, including the slitsnail, that were found in the fossil record long before they were known to still exist.
Plant Fossil Record
http://www.biodiversity.org.uk/ibs/palaeo/pfr2/pfr.htm
This searchable database allows the user to find out where plants have been found in the fossil record, thus allowing us to know where they were growing!
Tree of Life
http://tolweb.org/tree/phylogeny.html
This page from the University of Arizona is an evolutionary tree that links are organisms.
UCMP Web Time Machine
http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/help/timeform.html
Lets travel back in time and find out what life was like during the Mesozoic Era, 245 to 65 million years ago. We could also choose other eras, and get basic information about flora and fauna during the time periods.
University of California Museum of Paleontology
The University of California Museum of Paleontology is available online for your enjoyment and education! Take a look around and find out about dinosaurs, fossils, the history of life, or explore their collections.
