In 9th grade work and writing Imagine you are a paleontologist trying to find the “missing link” between different species. In three to five sentences, create a fictional narrative about your discoveries, describing: 1) what two species, mythical or real, you are studying, 2) what evidence you have linking these species, and 3) what evidence you have to define different correlations and causations that support your hypothesis.
As a paleontologist studying the origins of dragons and dinosaurs, I have discovered fascinating evidence that suggests a possible link between the two species. Fossilized remains of a creature with scales similar to a dragon, but with bone structures resembling that of a dinosaur, have led me to believe that there may have been a common ancestor between the two. Additionally, analysis of dental patterns and carbon dating of the remains have revealed similarities in diet and habitat preferences, further supporting the idea of an evolutionary connection between dragons and dinosaurs. Further research and excavation may uncover more clues to confirm this groundbreaking discovery.
