amazing that right after the idea of dinosaurs is propogated the field of paleontology explodes + tons of dinosaur bones are found all over earth. mind blowing that after thousands of years a handful of men could find 100s of different fossilized species. incredible. unbelievable
unreal that all of a sudden there were just places you could go and find tons of these dinosaur bones. so many that some early researchers died leaving some bones unanalyzed. fascinating that no one thought to dig into the earth to find all these bones before. they were so smart.
a few people have corrected me to let me know that no one dug into the earth or went hiking or poked around in these places before the 1870s, my mistake
