Starting in summer 2023, Della Ferrera and the research team conducted further inspections, photographing and mapping hundreds of fossilized traces across the mountain range, which rises to nearly ...
This is a list of dinosaurs whose remains have been recovered from Appalachia.

Since they were separated from each other, the dinosaur faunas on each of them were ...
