The largest, well known dinosaur is Argentinosaurus, which hails from Argentina.

When was the first dinosaur fossil found?

Some fossils (mostly shells) have been known for thousands of years. It is known that some of what we now call dinosaur bones were known in the middle ages, but the church called them fakes from the devil made to confuse people. Paleontologists first began studying fossils in the 1800s. The taxon Dinosauria was formally named in 1842 by paleontologist Sir Richard Owen, who used it to refer to the "distinct tribe or sub-order of Saurian Reptiles" that were then being recognized in England and around the world.


Do dinosaur fossils have the organic material from the dead dinosaur?

No, dinosaur fossils do not contain organic material from the dead dinosaur. Over millions of years, the organic materials decay and are replaced by minerals, leaving behind a rock-like structure that preserves the shape and sometimes the fine details of the original bone.
