Dinosaurs In Your Own Backyard

Sadly, none for me. :( Michigan was an ocean. Hey, at least we have mastadons! :D

well, here in nevada, we don't have much as far as dinosaurs go. We do have some giant aquatic monsters though, such as:

Shonisaurus, The devoian bony fish Aleosteus, and a variety of Ammonites.

I live in Florida, so I don't have any dinosaurs, which makes me a little sad.  BUT, I did have Megalodon and possibly Basilosaurus swimming through my backyard :D

I think Arizonasaurus and possibly DImetrodon even though it wasn't a dinosaur, but hey, it's still prehistoric.

Well I live in Arkansas and the only dino recorded here was Arkansaurus.

But here are some dinos in neighboring staes that were probably in Arkansas.

-Acrocanthosaurus

-Tyrannosaurus

-Torosaurus and Chasmasaurus

-Iguanodon

-Deinonychus

-Alamosaurus

-Stegoceras

-Tenontosaurus

-Kentrosaurus

-Pawpawsaurus

-and many more

I'm not sure what dinosaurs lived in Southern Ontario. 

Living in New Mexico so we have a good supply of fossils.

We have,

-Saurophaganax

-Coelophysis

-Stegosaurus

-Seismosaurus

-T-Rex

-Bistahievosaur

-Diplodocus

-Camarasaurus

-Chasmosaurus

-Parasaurolophys

-Dilophosaurus

We also had Ice age animals like,

-Mastadons

-Smilodons

-Dire Wolves

-Those giant camel things I don't know the name of.

Hmm, Well, I live about fifteen minutes on a good day away from The Royal Tyrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta. 

This is one of the most famous Dinosaur musuems in the world, The likes of Jack Horner have dug up here.

Im so close to the bad lands, We've dug fossils out of the creek bed at my ranch. (Sadly, Just shells and a fragments of an animoite) 

Alberta and the most of canada was under water... So thats where the shells probably come from, having studied Paleontolgy a lot, I theroize that there was either a river bed here originally, Or these were picked up by the glacier and deposited here.

Alberta alone has waaay to many dinosaur species to list them all. I'll list a few though:

Triceratops

Edmontonsaurus

The king, Tyranasaurus rex

Ankylosaurus

The famed Velociraptor as well as many more dromeasaurs

Stegosaurus

Yup, I live in an area with most the famed childhood dinosaurs we grew up with...

Also, Mr.Happy, Ontario has one of the biggest (Other the tyrell in drumheller) Dinosaur museums in the world...

I dont remember all of them, But there was many apotasaurus. 

I live in Indiana where no dinosaur bones have been found :(

The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto? I went there in in grade 5. I remember the T-Rex skeleton like I was there yesterday. There was a touch screen at the front of the Rex, to the left of its skull. The thing gave an outdated weight, something like 6 tons I believe.

I remember that, but not what I had for breakfast. At least I've got my priorities straight.

Nice Forum Signature, I completely agree.

Oh, and Paden, you have the worlds largest Dinosaur living fifteen minutes away from you! Haha

Thanks, I wanted to update it... 

I think that schools should focus more on Jobs such as paleontolgy. I recently heard something about how their isn't enough Engineers, technicians, scientists, ETC. I think its beacause the group who has the option like this is blowing it off because they're not taking it seriously...

It takes less to be a hot dog vendor than it does to be an engineer. 

Its been about two years since I was last at drum, I think a summer job there would be a dream come true. 

I know. It always bugs me that people are more concerned with getting laid than getting a solid career. Swag and Yolo and all that other crap. How can we get better technology if all the scientists are dead and we live in a society filled with morons who are too stupid to flip burgers at McDonalds?

@ mr.Happy i work at a Taco bell, and i'm a manager.i can tell you it's one of the most demanding jobs i've ever worked.

The whole swag and yolo thing, it bugs the hell out of me. Absolutely hate it.

Told a kid the other day to pull up his pants,  i didn't wanna see his underwear -_-

I go to a private school, so luckliy there aren't many people that are concerned about being popular and yell swag and yolo all day.

FUN FACT

SWAG originates from the early 1900s and stands for "Secretly we are gay" It was used to attract men to gay clubs and some bands would put it to let people know they were gay. I found this out a while ago.

THE MORE YOU KNOW.

So when someone ever says they got swag, just say yes...

Gentlemen, Its frowned upon now to  consider your future or even consider something outside of the work of spitting on someones big mac...

If your working it now because its the first or only job that came to you, Take pity on the souls around you, and find the job you love to come to work every day.

I try to explain to teens, (In my grade im the only one with a vocabulary expanded past the word of "Swag") That theres something greater to this than just checking you god damned instagram every minute in class...

Its really nice to know, that There are more people like me in the world... I get tired of trying to explain the time line of the earth to idiots...

I know the origin of SWAG, and it was a little more than just gay clubs.

That's kinda cool that you're manager at a Taco Bell. I'm related to a woman who is manager of 5 Tim Hortons in my area. Haha, I got a Timmies gift card for Christmas, and my parents got a Tims coffee mug.

Some of the people I know are LITERALLY TOO STUPID to work at McDonalds, and the ones that have a shot at making it big in the flipping burgers industry (and by big I mean a tad bit more than minimum wage) would spend all their money on pot.

One idiot I know (who is about 4 feet tall and lives in a small house) wants to get a Chevy Silverado 2500 Duramax lifted (he could just get a factory Ram 2500, but Dodge is 'gay' according to him). The kid is one of the people who is too stupid to work a McDonalds, and he wants a $20 000 truck that would be a major bitch on fuel.

Some people in my school are actually PROUD and luagh when they get a D on a test.

No need to be so insulting, Mr. happy..

That's putting it lightly my friend. 

Dodge is "mainstream" nowadays, i think that's why it's "gay" to this kid. I have an '04 dodge ranger, and i love it. not really the best on gas, but still reliable.

Truly, there are those kids who are just...not the brightest light bulb. They come in almost every day and can't really even use proper english, saddening.

Well I know some people who you wouldn't say they would be qualified to even become a cashier, but realize that what if you were to somehow end up with a job flipping burgers and such? Just don't call them stupid or anything, I like to call them "Unisnpired"...

Yah, a lot of my friends call things "gay" when they know it isn't. It's sort of become a slang, well it is a slang, but now it's forming into ANOTHER slang term.

i get kids coming in a the time looking for a job...and that's mainly cuz Fast food basically always hires. A high turn over rate too....So they're always accepting new kids. I myself just hired 2..most kids, this is an entry level job that sets them up for greater oppurtunity in the future.

I'm aware it's slang raptor, but when its used to describe something some one doesn't like...its annoying, ya know?

Dodge.... Ranger......? You're either thinking Dodge DAKOTA, or FORD Ranger.

I prefer Dodge myself (My dad drives a Ram 2500 Mega Cab 4x4), with GM as a near second. I've always liked Dodge, and my Jeep is a Chrysler, being Jeep and all. If it's Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram or Plymouth, it's good to me (as long as it isn't a van, I hate vans from all companies).

Dakota XD thinking of my wifes truck with the ranger haha. I owned a jeep in high school, they're amazing. They retain their value over the years as well.

Yes, my friend does it A LOT, it' IRRATING AS HELL.

I'm not a fan of Ford myself. My Jeep has transmission issues at the moment, but once it's fixed it'll be great. It's got a 305 Small block Chevy engine with aftermarket headers and dual exhaust. It sounds just like a muscle car.

Apparently the first Ford car had Dodge engines.

I doubt it. Ford was the first automaker I think. I know that Ford had a share of Cummins (the Diesel engines used in Dodge) in the 80's and 90's, but have since switched to Powerjoke.

that sounds sweet! Transmission is easy enough to fix, they typically have few issues other then the transmission and gear shifting..otherwise they're awesome.

Well, that's what I read...

It's just been sitting for a long time. My dad wants to take it for a drive on the road before doing any other work on it. It won't go any higher than first, and the shifter is cobbled in by my dad's friend, so maybe just putting the linkage in properly will fix it. The thing is an automatic unfortunately.

This has gone fairly off the original topic... Thats, Thats when topics get fun.

Swag is also a shortened version of swagger, Just thought I'd throw that up there... 

The thing I don't quite understand, is how can a car company be gay? (Also, I think your correct, Ford was one of the first to began mass manufacturing cars around the turn of the century 1900) I can see how it could be happy... But Not homasexual...

Tis but a shame out of the hands of complex minded people like us...

most kids today, if they don't like something call it gay..which just makes me shake my head in disbelief..

Yah, a lot of things go off topic. Paden, your profile pic or gif has completely dissapeared...

I agree with all. Especially the gay thing. Its so stupid to say something is "gay". It doesnt make any sense and can seriously offend people, same with retarded. One of the stupidest things Ive ever heard. Back on topic. I live in Utah, so its quite populated.

Allosaurus

Stegosaurus

Ceratosaurus

Sauropods

Alamosaurus

Utahraptor

Acrocanthosaurus

Struthiomimus

Edmontosaurus (Ive heard)

Lythronax

Daspletosaurus

Albertosaurus

Nasutuceratops

Triceratops

Tyrannosaurus rex

And so on...

There are a LOT of dinosaurs found in Utah.

Wow, this really did get off topic, haha.

Now that I look over my list(which doesn't seem compared with some of these places that don't have any fossils), I noticed a trend. PA seems to have(at least for dinosaurs) primarily early Jurassic and early Cretaceous. Interesting.
