During the time of the dinosaurs, Florida was underwater, meaning that dinosaurs (which are land based) were not present to be buried and become fossils. However, fossils of marine reptiles that lived at the same time such as Plesiosaurus can be found in Florida.

The eastern United States is primarily composed of marine deposits from the Paleozoic, meaning that most fossils are of fish, mollusks, and arthropods.

Dinosaurs have only been found in four states east of the Great Plains: Alabama, Maryland, Missouri, and New Jersey.

The La Brea tar pits in California were formed relatively recently, only 40 thousand years ago. The last dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago. As a result the La Brea tar pits only captured animals that walked the earth much more recently.
