Dinosaur Train Geocache: Tyrannosaurus Rex Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: From the Northern Region Office, New Jersey State Parks Department:

Over a year ago New Jersey enacted a policy that all geocachers must obtain a permit to have their cache on State Park property. We have informed all geocaching host that this is their responsibility and have given them ample time to go about getting their permits. At this time, over a year later, there are still several caches that haven’t complied.

We ask that as the land managers for the attached properties we would like to have these illegal caches removed.

Based on the list provided by the state, I am forced to archive this listing. If you have a permit, get a permit or don't believe your cache is on state park/forest land, please contact me via email. Make sure you include the GC code.

Dinosaur Train Geocache: Tyrannosaurus Rex


The King of the Dinosaurs, and certainly the most famous. Tyrannosaurus Rex Has lived in the imaginations of children and adults for decades. Staring in many films, books, and television shows, Tyrannosaurus was certainly a terrifying hunter.

For almost 90 years, T-Rex was the largest known predator to have ever walked on the Earth. It was not until Giganotosaurus was discovered in Argentina in the 1990s that T-Rex was beat by a larger discovered Preditor. Tyrannosaurus was one of the last Dinosaurs to die out. Being a late Theropod, it had just two digits or fingers in its upper forearms. The early Theropods had four digits. As the Age of the Dinosaurs progressed, they slowly lost fingers to three, and finally two. There arms also became much smaller. Tyrannosaurus'' arms were so short, that they were probably not very useful. Its huge head which was about 4 and a half feet long could have been used to swallow a human in one bite. In order to reduce the weight, Tyrannosaurus'' head was full of holes, an adaptation seen in many dinosaurs.
"Go outside, get into nature and make your own discoveries!"

That is what Dr. Scott challenges his viewers to do at the end of each Dinosaur Train episode.
