Oh wow...there's a good brain exercise!
#9: Scientists recently discovered the colors of a few moa feathers. There were two general coloring patterns found in individual feathers. Name them.

You got half the answer...some of the feathers were brown.
OH- the other one isn't a single color. Also, these two color patterns weren't found on the same moa.

Yup, the other feather type was brown and tan, which created a speckled effect when layered.

It's located in Montana.
#8: Proceratops and Protoceratops?

#10: I kinda figured it was in Montana. Still that hint doesn't help me much...
#8: Never heard of Proceratops, but after googling it discovered it is actually just a junior synonym of Ceratops. Nice try but you'll need to try again.

#8: Kentrosaurus and CentrosaurusAnd he gets it! Both of their names are derived from the Greek word kentros, which means "point" or "prickle"

Alright, no one guessed #10, so here's the answer:
The largest Tyrannosaurus (known as Sue) was found in the Hell Creek formation.
I'll post a new question shortly...DinoLord, Hermes, Zilla, feel free to post another question, seems Dino589 and I are the only ones asking right now.

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU-- *faceplam* *headdesk* *facepalm* I totally knew the answer to #10! I was just tripped up because I thought that Hell Creek wasn't located in Montana!
