Dinosaur fossils have not been found in Kentucky. [2] Like the Cretaceous, the geologic record of Kentucky contains deposits left on both land and sea during the Tertiary. [4] Also like the Cretaceous, Kentucky preserves plant fossils from this age. [4]

This list of the Paleozoic life of Kentucky contains the various prehistoric life-forms whose fossilized remains have been reported from within the US state of Kentucky and are between 538.8 and 252.17 million years of age.
Fossils may be found either associated with a geological formation or at a single geographic site. Geological formations consist of rock that was deposited during a specific period of time. They usually extend for large areas, and sometimes there are different important sites in which the same formation is exposed.
The skeleton of an extinct prehistoric reptile predator, known as a sea dragon, is the largest and most complete ever discovered in the U.K., researchers said Monday.
However, the Kentucky Geological Survey estimated a cumulative total of 200,000 wells in 1992, with 23,000 oil wells and 11,000 gas wells producing in 1989. The Eastern Coal Field and Western Coal Field have been the mine sites of production, with little exploration in the Jackson Purchase and Bluegrass regions. [3]
Newly-discovered fossils have allowed scientists to reveal a 240-million-year-old “dragon” in its entirety for the first ever time, National Museums Scotland (NMS) said in a statement on Friday.
A new study led by scientists at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), after analyzing pristine fossil samples from the Burgess Shale in British Columbia, concluded that O. alata was likely one of the ...
