My Name is Alan Grant

Hello, my name is Alan Grant. I am 41 years old. I am from Texas but I live in America and also do most of my fieldwork in America. I am a paleontologist. A paleontologist is someone who studies dinosaurs and dinosaur bones. Dinosaurs are living creatures that lived in the Jurassic Period, about 193 and 136 million years ago. There are also dinosaurs living in the Triassic Period, about 245 and 193 million years ago but their bones are rarely found. All of these dinosaurs are extinct because something happened millions of years ago that killed all the living dinosaurs on earth. I have a partner. Her name is Ellie Sattler. She is a paleobotanist. A paleobotanist is someone who studies plants from the time dinosaurs lived. Dr. Sattler & I travel around the world, searching for dinosaur bones not yet discovered. Well, that's it about me. Time to search for more dinosaurs!!
