While they can be found many places, the requirement is generally that the layers of rock laid down as sand and clay while the dinosaurs were alive (and then dying) have to be exposed by erosion or man made working for those materials. Many of the fossils found in Europe fall in the latter category, such as the first discoveries of birdlike reptiles in slate quarries in Germany. Slate is clay laid down in water.
There of the former type are the area around Dinosaur National Monument in western Colorado, where fossils have been left in place for people to see how they look, the places in North Dakota or Montana where literally tons of fossils were taken out and shipped to museums in the 1890's and the famous nests of fossilized eggs found in the Gobi Desert of China

I worked in Alaska, at a sand and gravel company they dig strait down for gravel and sometimes come up with dinosaur bones. They get coal to fire generators for power at Nenino so this would indicate to me this whole area was a lush jungle at one time.
