@thetoy411 Silly question,How did dino fossils come up to the surface in the badlands.Shouldnt fossils 65 million years ago,be buried at least 1 mile underground ???? can you explain how paleontologists find dino bones on the surface?Does the land under elevate up? what is the science behind how these fossils come up to the surface.

@fadethetrade Here is something I found. "Many millions of years pass and the rock remains buried deep within the bedrock; tectonic forces associated with the collision between neighboring continental plates have begun to buckle and uplift the bedrock, raising it above sea level, exposing it to erosion. Gradually, the exposed rock is stripped away, until eventually the top of the fossil is visible at the surface." For more info I'd take a family trip to the local Natural History Museum. Fun!

@thetoy411 Thanx! ,About how far down would 100 million years ago and 65 million years ago, be, if tectonic plates and others didnt move the rock up to surface and strip away and we had to dig down to find those years. how far down would we have to dig??. And how many dinos lived on the earth with t rex 65 million years ago?

@fadethetrade that's good question. I don't think there is a good answer to that question since the tectonic plates are always moving. I'm not sure how many different types dinosaurs existed in the Cretaceous period. But they are discovering new species all the time. The best way to find out 100% would be to go to a local Natural History Museum and ask your local paleontologist. He (or she) will let you know what the most recent theory are (they are always finding new data). Good Luck!
