Fitch Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Something I've never understood is how they can find bones, teeth, or tracks in almost every state that borders West Virginia, but they've never found anything associated with dinosaurs in the state. I guess it's the type of rock, but it's still weird. Has no one ever dumped dinosaur-bearing rocks in the state, or have no glaciers?

grampa dino Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 It could have been there at one time and moved with the help from all that ICE Or as up here, it's still there just buried up more dirt and rock. Link to post Share on other sites
Auspex Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 How much Mesozoic terrestrial sediment is there in WV? No dinos in Paleozoic nor Cenozoic rocks... Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Fossil Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Actually, there is a very VERY tiny sliver of exposed Mesozoic rock, down in the lower corner of Pendleton County (it continues over from that of Virginia). However, WV has yielded no Mesozoic fossils whatsoever. (My theory is they got pushed underground somehow, because my friend's dad is a coal miner, and he said they had to tunnel through Mesozoic rock a few times.) -Mr. Fossil Link to post Share on other sites
