Question

1. If the body mass estimate equation are correct, they should be able to accurately the body mass of:

A. An ostrish B. An elephant C. A whale D. A human

2. The biggest limitation on estimating body mass is dinosaurs is related to...

A. The unknown distribution of pneumatic bones in different dinosaurs

B. The unknown ratio of fat to muscle in different dinosaurs

C. The unkown length the skeleton in different dinosaurs

3. If you discovered a single, isolated, but complete femur, could you estimate the weight of the dinosaur?

A. Yes B. No

Explanation / Answer

1) Body mass equation are BMI which is done to measure the weight of humans, but those are not to correct. So the option that is correct is D.

2) Pneumatic bones are often useful for the estimation of mass of a body. Pneumatic bones in birds are too small, and in Sauropod is large, so the limitations occur in knowing the distribution of pneumatic bones in different dinosaurs. So the option is A.

3) If we are able to find a complete femur of a dinosaur, we are able to estimate the weight of dinosaur, which is also done currently. So the answer is Yes.
