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]

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.
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.
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.
The structures are considered to be one of the oldest ecosystems on Earth, according to NASA, representing the earliest fossil evidence for life on our planet from at least 3½ billion years ago.
[8] [9] The majority of fossils found in the area have been dated to the Wisconsin Glacial Period (c. 115,000 – c. 11,700 years ago). [10] Human burials and other signs of human habitation have also been uncovered. [11]
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.
