Students will learn about what dinosaurs and other animals can be found in the Djadochta formation in China from little Velociraptor, to Tarbosaurus. The topics covered will focus on the environment of Djadochta 70 million years ago, the smaller fauna, its climate, before moving on to the larger animals and then dinosaurs. The class will be structured along the rising food web of this ancient environment. I will be teaching using a mixture of slides, images, documentary clips and discussion of the certain animals. Learners will mainly get to interact with me through discussion, and lectures. No prior knowledge needed.
