Fossils themselves can very rarely be dated by any means...their age is usually judged by the geological assessment of the area and layer in which they are found
Pecten fossils are mostly found on the east coast of the United States.
They are mostly found on, or very near, the surface. They have probably been quite deeply buried at some point ( a lot can happen in, say, 70 million years) but due to tectonic movements and erosion, they finish up where we can find them. If all the Jurassic rocks were buried at about 300m, then our knowledge of dinosaurs would be impressively small.
Biogeography is the study of the distribution of species (biology) spatially (geography) and temporally (history). Biogeography aims to reveal where organisms live, at what abundance, and why they are or are no) found in a certain geographical area. Biogeography does not support the theory of evolution any more then when (history) you (biology) moved into your house (geography).
Fossils indicate several things about Earth's past: - the organisms that lived then, and by extension the organisms in their food chain - the climate in the area where the organism lived - how plate tectonics have moved landmasses that once were joined together
The Gobi Desert is known for its dinosaur fossils.
Alberta, specifically the region around Drumheller, is known for having the most dinosaur fossils in Canada. The area is home to the Royal Tyrrell Museum, which showcases a wide variety of dinosaur specimens.
Big Bend National Park has many fossils. The fossils are not only of dinosaurs; fossils of Quetzalcoatlus, the largest known flying reptile, come from this area.
yes California the saber toothed cat is the state dinosaur.
You can find maps with dinosaur fossils at natural history museums, dinosaur fossil sites, and online resources such as the Paleobiology Database. Some national parks and fossil sites also provide maps for visitors to explore and learn about dinosaur discoveries in their area.
Maybe not THE richest but certainly the most powerful and influential in world politics. Around the mid-19th century Great Britain ruled over one fourth of the worlds' land area.
It is in Fort Ciskin, which is a good sized area consisting of dense pine forests encircling a murky swamps. In the southwest corner lies an abandoned settlement guarded by a towering "Dinosaur Wall", that now lies in ruins from the fury of a T-Rex.
The Canadian province of Alberta is a treasure trove of ancient fossils. Thousands of dinosaur bones have been found in the rolling plains of the area. Alberta was an ancient sea bed. This likely accounts for the large amount of fossils.
The area of Dinosaur National Monument is 853.255 square kilometers.
The area of Dinosaur World - Arkansas - is 263,045.667456 square meters.
I believe it's Alberta because some dinosaurs have been named after places there like the Albertosaurus
Fossils of the Diplodocus dinosaur have been found predominantly in North America, particularly in states such as Colorado, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming. These fossils date back to the Late Jurassic period, around 154-150 million years ago. Diplodocus was a long-necked, herbivorous dinosaur known for its distinctive long tail and relatively small head.
