The Red Gulch dinosaur tracksite in Wyoming, USA, features numerous fossil footprints formed when the area was the coast of a prehistoric sea The soft ground of ancient shorelines or mudflats are common locations to find fossilised dinosaur tracks. Dinosaurs went extinct about 65 million years ago (at the end of the Cretaceous Period), after living on Earth for about 165 million years. If all of Earth time from the very beginning of the dinosaurs to today were compressed into 365 days (one calendar year), the dinosaurs appeared January 1 and became extinct the third week of September. In 1877, Stegosaurus, the Colorado state fossil, was found near Morrison, Colorado, which is the home of Red Rocks, while nearby dinosaur tracks also tell of the Jurassic Period. DALLAS (SMU) – An international team of paleontologists has identified a new genus and species of hadrosaur or duck-billed dinosaur, Yamatosaurus izanagii, on one of Japan’s southern islands. The fossilized discovery yields new information about hadrosaur migration, suggesting that the herbivores migrated from Asia to North America instead of vice versa. Dr David Button, a dinosaur researcher at the Museum, says, 'Most of the dinosaur fossils we find are from animals that were living near to a lake or river. Shown below is a downloadable Jurassic Coast Map. Also, fossil fragments of the giant 40-foot plesiosaur, the marine reptile mossaur, and … Others were washed into a river by heavy rain.' 'Some died shortly before the area flooded and covered their remains in mud and silt.
