Dakota (specimen NDGS 2000) is the nickname given to an important Edmontosaurus fossil found in the Hell Creek Formation in North Dakota. It is about 67 million years old, [ 1 ] placing it in the Maastrichtian , the last stage of the Cretaceous period .
Throughout the remainder of the Cenozoic, North Dakota's climate cooled and dried. The state's swamps vanished and their inhabitants became extinct. In their place woodlands formed. The climate got colder still and eventually glacial activity reshaped the state's landscape. At this time North Dakota was home to mammoths and mastodons. [1]
The Parshall Oil Field discovery, combined with other factors, including an oil-drilling tax break enacted by the state of North Dakota in 2007, [49] shifted attention in the Bakken from Montana to the North Dakota side. [50] The number of wells drilled in the North Dakota Bakken jumped from 300 in 2006 [51] to 457 in 2007. [52]
