Dinosaur fossil sites

Dinosaur fossil sites are locations where preserved remains or traces of dinosaurs have been discovered. These sites typically feature sedimentary rock layers that formed millions of years ago, where bones, footprints, or eggs are buried and protected from decay. Paleontologists carefully excavate these areas to study the fossils, which provide insights into dinosaur anatomy, behavior, and the environment in which they lived. Notable sites include the Hell Creek Formation in North America and the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. Each site helps piece together the ancient ecosystems and the diversity of dinosaurs that once roamed Earth.
