No, Iceland is a young country, the oldest rocks there are only 20-30 million years old and since the dinosaurs became extinct about 65 million years ago, there is no possibility of any in Iceland.
Which layer of the Badlands contains reptile fossils but no dinosaur fossils?
The Badlands in Badlands National Park contain reptile fossils (including alligator fossils), but do not contain dinosaur fossils. Note that "Badlands" refers to a type of geographical feature, which is not only found in Badlands National Park.
How old are dinosaur fossils?
Usually a fossil needs to be at least 10,000 years old. However, there is more than just age to a fossil. Fossils are often made of sediment and rock that has taken the shape of the object. Therefore, it is just just old, it is also mineralized.
How dinosaur footprint turn into fossils?
by mud and hundred years and it will turn to stone.
When did different fossils including dinosaurs appear?
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.

No. Dinosaurs did not appear until aout 230 million years ago. You could, however, still find fossils of other animals.
How many days ago did the dinosaurs live?
Dinosaurs existed 65.5 million years ago. Back then, a day was about 23 hours. Saying that an average day between modern times and the dinosaur age was 23.5 hours, and a year is 365.25 x 24 hours, then the dinosaurs died out about 24,431,500,000 days ago.

When did triceratops live?
Triceratops fossils have been found from 68 to 65 million years ago, and they were one of the types of dinosaurs to witness the dinosaur extinction event. Recently, scientists have realized that Torosaurus, another dinosaur very similar to Triceratops, may actually have belonged to the Triceratops genus. If that is the case, Triceratops would have lived from 70 to 65 million years ago.
Where was the Amargasaurus fossils been found?

Did mammals appear in the fossil record after dinosaurs became extinct?

Did dinosaurs come 250 million years before man?
Answer:The age of the oldest dinosaur fossils is some 250 mllion years ago based on radioactive dating. The age of the oldest human fossils is about 400,000 years, going back to 4 million years if you include proto-humans like Lucy. Dinosaurs had their day and died out some 70 million years ago, so there was no opportunity for Flintstone like interactions between the two species.AnswerNo, because the first dinosaur was 230 mya, and the first people were in the last 5 million years of prehistory. Do the math.
