Plant-eating dinosaurs did not eat grass, because there wasn't any, so it is thought. During the Mesozoic Era, when the dinosaurs lived, conifers - cone-bearing trees and shrubs - dominated the landscape. They included redwoods, yews, pines, palms, cypress and the monkey puzzle tree. Flowering plants and grass evolved only later.
By the way, a plant does not look like its parents, but will always resemble its grandparents

Dottie Rambo
Dottie Rambo... so petite but so HUGE in talent! Her songs touch millions. I think she is gospel music's greatest treasure!
No one has to be around me for very long to know that Dottie Rambo is my favorite gospel artist ever! I remember as a young teenager buying every Rambos album I could get and many times just going into my bedroom, closing the door and enjoying listening to them! A time I will never forget was January of 1969. For Christmas in 1968, a friend of mine who knew I loved Dottie's music got tickets to take me to see the Singing Rambos in person in Columbus, Ohio. I will never forget it! Many years later, my husband and I were in Branson, Missouri, and we were privileged again to see Dottie in concert. Although the back problems have really limited her lifestyle, she was still so full of life!
