Dinosaurs became extinct at least 245 million years ago. It is thought that roughly 700 species have been discovered and named. These discoveries happen when paleontologists go on great expeditions, all over the world, to dig up fossils.

Fossils are the preserved remains of plants and animals whose bodies were buried in sediments, such as sand and mud, under ancient seas, lakes, and rivers.

In 2013 a farmer in the United States (Montana) discovered 2 gigantic dinosaurs on a 20-square-mile ranch. One of the dinosaurs was a 38-foot T-Rex and the other was a Triceratops.
