Stromatoporoids lived in Tennessee during the Ordovician. [2] Ordovician trilobites were preserved in Rutherford County. [4] Silurian Tennessee remained covered by seawater. [1] The Silurian fauna of Tennessee included brachiopods, bryozoans, crinoids, and gastropods. [5] Tennessee was still submerged into the ensuing Devonian period. [1]
The Gray Fossil Site is a deposit of laminated clay and silt sediments laid down in an ancient lake that formed within a sinkhole. The deposit is oval in shape, covering an area of roughly 220 meters by 180 meters and ranging in depth from about 7 meters to 39 meters deep.
What type of dinosaur it belonged to is unknown, but there have been suggestions that it was from Allosaurus. "Beelemodon": Known only from two teeth found in Wyoming. They share features of compsognathids, dromaeosaurids and basal oviraptorosaurs. "Capitalsaurus": The official dinosaur of the District of Columbia. It is known from a single ...
Paleontologists found 100 eggs and 80 skeletons from a dinosaur called Mussaurus at a site in Patagonia, suggesting the animals lived in groups.
The dinosaur lived 150 million years ago in the late Jurassic period, making it millions of years older than the terrifying Tyrannosaurus rex that roamed the Earth some 66 million to 68 million ...
Sullivan and Lucas (2015) argued that there is little evidence to support NMMNH P-3698 as a specimen of Tyrannosaurus rex, so they tentatively classified it as cf. Tyrannosaurus sp.; they also considered that the McRae tyrannosaur lived before the Lancian (before 67 million years ago) based on its coexistence with Alamosaurus.
