Well, there are probably bones of marine reptiles such as plesiosaurs, mosasaurs, pliosaurs, and ichthyosaurs buried under the ocean, but not dinosaurs. Marine reptiles are not dinosaurs, as many people think. And neither are the flying reptiles called pterosaurs. Dinosaurs only lived on land. However, it would be very hard to dive under the ocean to dig for them.

So how do we find fossils of marine reptiles? The answer to that question remained a mystery to scientists, until they figured out that the world hasn't always looked the same as it does now. Sea levels rise and fall over millions of years, flooding areas of land. Marine reptiles lived in them. And when the seas retreated, we could find their fossils
