Dinosaurs, like contemporary sharks, lost their teeth during their lifetimes. Teeth are the most prevalent dinosaur fossils as a result. Teeth, like other vertebrates, are formed of the toughest material (enamel and dentin) present in the body, making them best adapted to be kept when the bone has rotted away and never fossilized. Many people believe that these fossils are essentially solid stone petrified remnants of teeth, however, this is not how teeth fossilize. Fossil dinosaur teeth are delicate and can have small cracks on the surface or through the tooth, making them readily breakable if touched. Handling dinosaur fossil teeth takes extra care, as they will break or chip if dropped or knocked against anything hard, such as the glass of a display case. We can learn a lot about dinosaurs from their teeth. The teeth tell us if they ate meat or vegetation. The teeth also reveal HOW the dinosaur ate. If they were plant-eaters with long rods that were somewhat spread out in the jaw, t...

 Green River Formation is among one of the world's best locations for finding fish fossils. Parts of Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah are known to be the hub for green river formation fossils . These fossils are preserved in the intermountain lake basin while the Rocky Mountains are at growth. Scientists reveal that the climate during the Eocene was warm and temperate to subtropical, and this changed to slightly drier at the start of the mid-Eocene. Vast amounts of sediments were transported from those rocky mountains to inter-mountain basins in the Green River area. Stream draining those steep mountains carried large amounts of sand, mud, silt, and dissolved minerals into lakes that occupied inter-mountain bases. One Aspect Of Green River Formation Most of the pristine fossils found in the market and online websites selling fossils are collected from Fossil Lake deposits. These are separated into two distinct zones: * Split Fish Layer This layer has an average thickness of 6.5 feet, an...
