Earthquakes have been recognized by people around the world since the beginning of known history - references to them can be found in some of the oldest writings.
The presence or absence of fossils has been used to compare the relative ages of rocks around the world and to arrange sedimentary rocks into a geologic time scale. Eons are the largest intervals of the time scale and range from 540 to 2,050 million years in length
fossils
Fossils that have been preserved in ice or snow are known as frozen fossils. Generally, frozen fossils are associated with plants and animals that lived during the Ice Age.
No, metamorphic rock is not conducive to preserving fossils because of the high pressures and temperatures it has been subjected to that destroys organic matter. Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock.
in Australia
Pterodactylus adults probably grew to have a wingspan of about 5 feet. No fossils of adult Pterodactylus have been discovered, so that size is an estimate made by paleontologists, based on the size and development level of the many juvenile Pterodactylus fossils that have been found.

Mostly in Canada and the Western United States. It is the state fossil of South Dakota.

Probably billions, most of which haven't even been discovered yet.
The only Carcharodon megalodon fossils that have been found are teeth. They lived between 28 and 2 million years ago. They have been discovered all over the world, which is known as a cosmopolitan distribution.
Fossils have been found nearly everywhere in the world because animals die everywhere in the world. Although most fossils that have been fond will have only been a part of it/.
Dinosaur fossils have been found throughout human history, but they have never been called dinosaurs or fossils. People thought they were the bones of dragons. The true investigation of dinosaurs began around 1840 when a woman found a large tooth in the ground. It was the tooth of an Iguanodon ("iguana tooth")
Most Stegosaurus fossils come from the Morrison Formation in the western USA. Some states that have revealed Stegosaurus remains include Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah. In 2006 it was announced that Stegosaurus had just been found in Portugal.
Yes. There were dinosaur fossils that have been discovered with red blood cells in it. The blood cells were still fresh
