What is the natural process whereby layers of mud and sand wore away and exposed the dinosaur bones at the Dinosaur National Monument?

The processes of weathering and erosion, which were caused by wind, ice, and water, are responsible for exposing the dinosaur fossils at Dinosaur National Monument. Weathering is the process of rock being broken into sediments. Erosion is when those sediments are carried away by wind and water.

Why was the Interior Plains a good home for dinosaurs?
The whole world was a good home for dinosaurs. Dinosaur fossils are found where sedimentary rocks of the right age are exposed. The Western United States has Jurassic and Cretaceous beds, so we find Jurassic and Cretaceous dinosaurs there. There are few dinosaur finds in the Eastern states because the rocks there are too old, being laid down before the dinosaurs appeared.

What is a stegosaurus's weak spot?
No one knows for sure because we have dinosaur bones, not flesh but, the flank is its weakest spot. If you are a smaller dinosaur, say dilophosaurus, you will slash and tear at its flank. However, an allosaurus could charge it down and bite its exposed neck and underbelly. Or allosaurus could go for a head on assault. Cheers.

How was monument valley formed?
Monument Valley was formed through millions of years of erosion by wind and water, which gradually shaped the sandstone rocks into the unique formations we see today. The rock layers were deposited during the Permian period, and subsequent uplift and erosion over time exposed these layers to create the iconic landscape of Monument Valley.
Where to look for dinosaur bones?
First, you need to be in the part of the country where the rocks were laid down when the dinosaurs were alive. In the United States, this is mainly out West. Then you need to look at layers of these rocks that have been exposed by erosion. Look at the same rocks every few years, because more material will "weather out." Finally, if you see something than looks like a bone, don't be in a big hurry to dig it up, because you could damage it. Call a university and ask to speak to a geologist.
