0:00:33 > 0:00:36Take me to the time of the dinosaurs, I say.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39Hold on tight, shut your eyes and then we fly away.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41# One, two, three, four!

0:00:55 > 0:00:59# Dinosaur, dinosaur adventures! #

0:01:15 > 0:01:20Hello. I work in the dinosaur gallery here in the National Museum.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23Today, there's a brand-new exhibition

0:01:23 > 0:01:27all about what animal life was like in the sea millions of years ago.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29And Hatty, our dinosaur expert,

0:01:29 > 0:01:31has asked me to bring her this sand for her display.

0:01:35 > 0:01:36HE SIGHS

0:01:36 > 0:01:37I feel like I'm underwater!

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Hatty?

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Hatty?

0:01:42 > 0:01:45- SHE HUMS - Oh! You're in a hurry.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47I certainly am.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Just trying to finish this ammonite display before the museum opens.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53- What's an ammonite? - This is an ammonite.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55Or a model of an ammonite anyhow.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57It looks a bit like a curled-up snake.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01- An ammonite was actually a kind of mollusc.- Oh!

0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Like a snail or a slug? - Or an octopus or a squid.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Magnifying glass.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10They're all molluscs, but an ammonite was a kind of mollusc

0:02:10 > 0:02:14that lived in shoals and swam through the sea millions of years ago.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Light brush.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19They came in all shapes and sizes too.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22From ones the size of my eye...

0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Tissue.- Oh.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28..to massive ones...

0:02:28 > 0:02:31the size of you.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33The size of me?!

0:02:33 > 0:02:37So how did they swim about? I can't see any tails or fins on them.

0:02:37 > 0:02:42That's because...this is just part of an ammonite, the shell.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Millions of years ago,

0:02:44 > 0:02:48there would have been a big slug-like creature living inside the shell

0:02:48 > 0:02:52and it would have jetted along by squirting water out of its body.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Wow!- And when they wanted to float,

0:02:55 > 0:02:57they just filled themselves up with gas.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01And when they wanted to sink, they just let it all out again.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Ah!- That way they could rise and fall as they liked.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06SHE GASPS I'd better be going! The doors open soon!

0:03:06 > 0:03:09I've still got lots to do! Can I leave you to sort out the sand?

0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Leave it to me, Hatty.- Thanks, Andy. HE LAUGHS

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Lived in here?!

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Oh, no!

0:03:44 > 0:03:46- HE TUTS - Oh!

0:03:46 > 0:03:48AMMONITE SHATTERS

0:03:48 > 0:03:49Oh, no!

0:03:49 > 0:03:51What am I going to do?!

0:03:51 > 0:03:53HE SIGHS

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Hatty spent ages making that!

0:03:56 > 0:03:57I could make a new one.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00There's not enough time! CLOCK CHIMES

0:04:03 > 0:04:05BIRD SQUAWKS

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Time to go on a dinosaur adventure!

0:05:27 > 0:05:31Oh! And look! Pterosaurs!

0:05:32 > 0:05:34And I'm on a beach.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36I might find an ammonite shell washed up somewhere.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39PTEROSAUR SHRIEKS

0:05:43 > 0:05:46Well, there are plenty of shells on this beach.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50Conch shells, clam shells,

0:05:50 > 0:05:52mussel shells...

0:05:52 > 0:05:56and even turtle shells!

0:05:56 > 0:05:58With the turtles still in them!

0:05:59 > 0:06:05Look at that! Baby turtles heading for the sea for the very first time!

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Good luck! Enjoy your first swim.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18Hmm. There doesn't seem to be any ammonite shells around here.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22What's that?!

0:06:22 > 0:06:24BEEPING

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Whoa! Look at them jump!

0:06:29 > 0:06:30HE LAUGHS

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Baby ichthyosaurs!

0:06:34 > 0:06:37And it says here that they used to eat ammonite shells.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40If there are no ammonite shells on the beach,

0:06:40 > 0:06:43I've got to go in there. Time for a swim.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14Whoa! Did you see all those ammonites down there?!

0:07:14 > 0:07:17I just need to find one exactly like Hatty's.

0:07:17 > 0:07:18BIRD SQUAWKS

0:07:32 > 0:07:34A pterosaur!

0:07:34 > 0:07:37That was close. I think he must be fishing.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44I'm going to try looking for a shell closer to shore.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06I've found one! Yes!

0:08:06 > 0:08:08- All I need to do... - GROWLING

0:08:54 > 0:08:58The ammonite! Now all I have to do is head back to the museum. Right.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03PTEROSAURS SCREECH

0:09:03 > 0:09:07OK, I just need my badge, which is in Hatty's backpack.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10Where's Hatty's backpack?

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Oh, no!

0:09:19 > 0:09:22It's one of those swimming dinosaurs again!

0:09:22 > 0:09:23And he's got Hatty's backpack!

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Hey! Leave that alone! That doesn't belong to you!

0:09:26 > 0:09:30- GROWLING - Great! And here comes another one!

0:09:31 > 0:09:33She's never going to believe me

0:09:33 > 0:09:37if I tell her I've lost her bag in a game of dino tug-of-war.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39There's only one thing for it.

0:09:58 > 0:10:03It turns out these big dinosaurs are called...eustreptospondylus.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09They're five metres long! And they're meat-eaters too!

0:10:16 > 0:10:18And this one...is after me!

0:10:38 > 0:10:42Huh? The beach is covered with...pterosaurs!

0:10:50 > 0:10:53And another hungry eustreptospondylus!

0:10:56 > 0:10:58- CLOCK CHIMES - The clock!

0:10:58 > 0:11:00I've got no time!

0:11:10 > 0:11:12A map?!

0:11:12 > 0:11:14- HE SIGHS - How's that going to help me here?

0:11:14 > 0:11:16I know exactly where I am.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18I'm in trouble.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Unless...

0:11:26 > 0:11:30If eustreptospondylus likes catching flying things...

0:11:30 > 0:11:33like those pterosaurs up there...

0:11:33 > 0:11:37PTEROSAURS SCREECH

0:11:37 > 0:11:40..then he's going to love this!

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Oh.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05It's working!

0:12:06 > 0:12:09OK, now's my chance!

0:13:13 > 0:13:16These are fossils of ammonite shells,

0:13:16 > 0:13:18creatures that lived underneath the sea

0:13:18 > 0:13:20millions and millions of years ago,

0:13:20 > 0:13:22way back in the time of the dinosaurs.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26Hungry dinosaurs... that could swim too!

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Thanks, Andy. Everything looks great.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32But next time you have to nip out, feel free to borrow my umbrella.
