Can you use halflife to determine when dinosaurs died?

The concept of half-life is used to measure the rate of radioactive decay in elements, not to determine when dinosaurs died.

What do palentoligists accomplish?

Paleontologists study fossils to learn about ancient life forms and ecosystems, helping us understand evolutionary processes, biodiversity, and Earth's history. They also use their findings to reconstruct past environments and climates, and to inform our understanding of how life on Earth has changed over millions of years. In addition, paleontologists contribute valuable information about extinct species and their relationships to modern organisms.


Why were so few dinosaurs found in Antarctica?

The reason that so few dinosaurs have been found in Antarctica is because it is almost impossible to dig for fossils on most of Antarctica. First, most if it is underneath a mile of ice. Secondly, because Antarctica is so harsh, few paleontologists go to dig even in the areas of rock that are exposed. To me, for those reasons, it's surprising that any dinosaurs have been found in Antarctica.
