T. rex's serrated, cone-shaped teeth were most likely used to pierce and grip flesh. Its two-fingered forearms could probably seize prey, but they were too short to reach its mouth. Scientists believe this powerful predator could eat up to 500 pounds (230 kilograms) of meat in one bite.
Angles and distances are measured from the total station to points under survey, and the coordinates (X, Y, and Z or easting, northing and elevation) of surveyed points relative to the total station position are calculated using trigonometry and triangulation.
A total station or TST is an electronic/optical instrument used for surveying and building construction. The total station is an electronic theodolite integrated with an electronic distance measurement to read slope distances from the instrument to a particular point, and an on-board computer to collect data and perform advanced coordinate based calculations. Robotic total stations allow the operator to control the instrument from a distance via remote control. This eliminates the need for an as
