Reading an ancient landscape
Geologists work out what a place looked like by studying the rock itself. River sands, swamp muds and desert dunes all leave different patterns, and fossil pollen shows which plants were growing nearby.
The world dinosaurs lived in
There was no grass for most of the age of dinosaurs. Landscapes were filled with ferns, horsetails, cycads and conifers, and flowering plants only became common late in the Cretaceous Period. The continents were also in different positions from today.
