The fossil that was found in Bavaria, Germany, is the Archaeopteryx.
Fossils appeared continually throughout the history of life; the oldest known fossils are of stromatolites which are thought to be 3.4 billion years old Dinosaur fossils have doubtless been dug up for hundreds of years. The Chinese found "dragon" bones over 2000 years ago - these may well have been dinosaur fossils. In 1676, a large femur was found in England by Reverend Plot - probably from a dinosaur. A report of this find was published by Brookes in 1763. The first dinosaur to be described scientifically was Megalosaurus; named in 1824, by William Buckland. Buckland (1784-1856) was a British fossil hunter and clergyman who collected fossils. The first dinosaur fossil that was found and described was an iguanadon, but this was described after the megalosaurus.
Fossils of this type of plant-eating dinosaur, which lived in the late Jurassic time period, have been found in what is now the western United States.
The fossils of Eoraptor were found by Argentine paleontologist Ricardo Martinez in the Ischigualasto Formation in Argentina in 1991. Eoraptor is an important early dinosaur from the Late Triassic period.
Mosasaur fossils are the remains of large, extinct marine reptiles called mosasaurs that lived during the Late Cretaceous period. These fossils include teeth, bones, and sometimes even preserved soft tissues, providing valuable information about the biology and evolution of these creatures. Some notable mosasaur species include Mosasaurus and Tylosaurus.
Ultrasauros dinosaur fossils date from the late Jurassic period. Utahraptor dinosaur lived during the early Cretaceous period.
Once source says that only scattered dinosaur fossils have ever been discovered in North Dakota, but the state is rich in other prehistoric animals. Other sources state that Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in North Dakota during the Cretaceous period. Edmontosaurus -- a duck billed dinosaur Troodon -- therapod dinosaur

Curiosity is the basic quality of a scientist. But for specific to fossils, paleontologist studies the fossils for -----Studying the anatomy and body structure of the past organisms.Establishing the evolutionary sequence of the organisms.Finding out the reservoirs of fossil fuels.Studying the climate of that particular period and the corresponding effect on organism in that period.
Fossils of this type of plant-eating dinosaur, which lived in the late Jurassic time period, have been found in what is now the western United States.
An abelisaurid is a dinosaur of the Cretaceous period, whose fossils have been found on the modern-day continents of Africa and South America, as well as the island of Madagascar.
