The first dinosaur identified in America is a Hadrosaurus, dug up in New Jersey in 1858. Before that it is likely Indians had uncovered dinosaur fossils, but did not recognize them as long extinct species.
The cliffs are chalk. There are some fossils in the chalk though.
Camposaurus is a genus of small theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Jurassic period, primarily in what is now Argentina. It is characterized by its long legs and lightweight body, which suggest it was a fast runner. Camposaurus is believed to have been an agile predator, feeding on smaller animals and possibly scavenging as well. Its fossils contribute to our understanding of dinosaur diversity and ecology during that era.
It is rare to find marine fossils in Louisiana primarily due to the state's geological history and sedimentary processes. Much of Louisiana's land is composed of relatively young sedimentary deposits from the Mississippi River, which have buried older marine deposits. Additionally, the state has experienced significant erosion and subsidence, which can further obscure or destroy fossil sites. Consequently, the fossil record in Louisiana is less representative of ancient marine environments compared to other regions.
storms washed them away. At the dinosaur times it rained a lot. The last storm could have done it.
Yes, South America has been a known location for dinosaur fossils. Some significant dinosaur fossils have been discovered in countries like Argentina and Brazil, providing valuable insights into prehistoric life on the continent.
Yes. There were dinosaur fossils that have been discovered with red blood cells in it. The blood cells were still fresh
Dinosaur tracks are trace fossils
Like most fossils, dinosaur fossils have been mostly replaced with minerals and are not made of the original material. However, many contain trace amounts of original material. Some even contain proteins from the dinosaur.
uranis
there were dinosaur fossils and bones found.
So few dinosaur fossils have been found in Antarctica because the entire continent is covered in ice, making it hard to dig and/or search for large fossils.
The study of dinosaur's fossils is called:Paleontologists/Paleontology
yes
The Gobi Desert is known for its dinosaur fossils.
Yes, dinosaur fossils have been found in Europe and Asia. In Europe, notable dinosaur discoveries have been made in countries like the UK, France, Spain, and Romania. In Asia, countries such as China, Mongolia, and India have also yielded significant dinosaur fossil finds.
