Answer 1

come on now...........


thumbs down?

at least I'm not bringing up the moon hoax

Answer 2

No.

You can rest assured that dinos were found ALL over the world, and that there's millions more fossils that were lost at the bottom of water (since 70% of earth's covered by water, and plate tectonics over millions of years must have covered plenty of land once inhabited).

In fact, we see so many sea dinosaurs that are embedded in rock and in mountainsides (mollusks, bones, plants) that you can imagine the flipside, right? If Utah and Wyoming, for the most part.. at one point, were under large bodies of water -- think about how different the world was, much less western parts of the USA (500-300 million years ago).

P.S. -- Seems to me that the fossils that were discovered in Europe for a 1,000+ of years before paleontology, became the stuff of legend and myth (were dragons really, T-Rex's?)...

Answer 3

Nope, some of the best preserved are in China. Whole nests of fertilized eggs with developing dino embryo are seen in China. England was the first place to find a dinosaur tooth an correctly date it to the Cambrian age. By the way, the Cambrian age is named for Cambridge University in England because it was their land where the tooth was found.

Answer 4

Where on earth did you hear that??? Most fossils are found in Africa and Australia. They have also been found in Germany, Britain, and many other places in Europe. In fact, that is how scientists first came across the theory of Pangaea. They found half of a set of fossilized remains on the western coast of Africa, and the other half on the eastern coast of South America. They have even been discovered near New Zealand on a remote island.

Answer 5

Not at all... There have been many 'dinosaur fields' discovered here - particulary in the badlands of Montana & North Dakota. Not to mention finds in almost every state in the union.
But South America, Africa, China, even Antarctica has had evidence of dinosaurs discovered.

Answer 6

No, the fossils have been found all over the world.

That is not really an astronomy or space question, is it? It is more of an Earth science or biology question.

Answer 7

how do you get this idea? China has famous dinosaur fossils, dinosaur fossils are found all over Europe.
Just google the country of your choice and dinosaur fossils and you will find examples.

Answer 8

Not at all. China and Argentina both have many fossils in excellent condition. You are merely misinformed.

Answer 9

umm.. not even remotely close dinosaurs have been found everywhere including china where farmers regularily find fossils which they can make a good months salary off of finding for turning in to their government.

Answer 10

No they have been discovered all around the world; Argentina, germany, madagascar, china, indonesia, and more,,

Answer 11

the basic question is did really diana-osaurs existed at all? or are they american scientists imegination?
personally i am of opinion that the thing like that never existed. why is it so that every thing such is discovered by americans? are they really so smart or are they trying to be smart ? why the americans try to fool world by giving details which are totally false like landing of man on moon.
