North America had all the cool dinosaurs, the classics we all know and love: T-Rex, triceratops, stegosaurus, ankylosaurus, etc.

South America: the admittedly cool argentinosaurus but also a bunch of boring dinosaurs.

Chinese dinosaurs: basically just a bunch of feathered proto-birds, boring

European dinosaurs: the admittedly cool plesiosaurs but not much else of interest.

African dinosaurs: way too many copy and paste sauropods.

North America also has tons of synapsids from the Permian and pseudosuchia from the Triassic, to mention nothing of the Cenozoic mammals.

imagine believing in dinosaurs
holy shit

>Why hadn’t anyone throughout history up to that time discovered dinosaur remains? Why is it only people with a vested interest finding these ancient fossils?
Why aren’t any modern construction or mining personnel with bulldozers or any everyday people digging a well or plowing their field finding dinosaur bones?
Why is it only certain people that stand to gain who know just right where to look able to find dinosaur fossils with a little shovel?

mostly because the US is unique in being large, prosperous, developed, and with reasonably ready access to its hinterlands. all of which combined make it easy to find new stuff.

Mostly because american jews made them all up

Were there Spinosaurids in North America?

What the hell are you talking about? People find random fossils all the time. If you had the brain god gave a scallop you would know Dinosaurs are only from the Mesozoic and not all rock layers are from that era. I know this will be hard to understand for you, but you're only going to find Dinosaurs in these layers. No, birds are not Dinosaurs.

Europe actually has many of the same groups of well-known Dinosaurs as North America (Brachiosaurids, Diplodocoids, Allosaurs, Hadrosaurs, Thyreophrans, etc.), Europaeon "paleontologists" just tend to be retards and frauds in the modern era, so even when they are known important remains they just reclassify them as "Titanosauriformes indet." or something stupid like that and file them away and they lose the names they had and fade into obscurity. This is specifically why so many European Sauropods are so obscure. They didn't used to be. Ceratopsids are about the only group of Dinosaurs that is truly endemic only to North America, aside from a single species in Asia (Sinoceratops).

No. That's one of the major "charismatic" groups that doesn't appear here.
