Dinosaur Park Formation in Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta
The distictive banding of the Morrison Formation, a group of rock layers that occur throughout Dinosaur National Monument. The formation originated as muds and sands laid down by ancient rivers, and some of its outcrops have been found to contain 150-million-year-old dinosaur fossils like those found at the monument's Dinosaur Quarry.

Wide angle photo from the visitor’s walkway inside Lark Quarry Dinosaur Trackways, Australia. Here, the camera is pointing towards the south west corner of the building. On the top (in the far corner) is the natural landscape. In the middle ground of the photo, some of the overburden has been cleared. In the foreground is the dinosaur tracks.
Bituminous claystone, Lower Jurassic, Hesselberg, Middle Franconia. Sedimentary rock of very thin laminated layers (particles less than 0,0002 mm). Rock formation is known for its rich fossil findings, ex. Ichthyosaur.
Oxfordian (Upper Jurassic) cyclic sediments at Péry-Reuchenette, near Tavannes, kanton Bern, Switzerland. Alternating layers are limestone (light, more competent) and marl/clay; dominant cycle is the 200.000 year-cycle.

West of Chilton Chine The coastline west of the chine is accessible at lowish tides. The various rock strata in the Wealden Beds can be seen, with the chalk of Highdown Cliffs SZ3285 beyond.
Map of Cretaceous-aged dinosaur fossil localities of Mongolia. Gobihadros mongoliensis was collected from Bayshin Tsav in Area C. Open squares indicate Late Cretaceous sites, solid squares represent Early Cretaceous localities. Abbreviations: A, Localities of Western Gobi Desert in Mongolia, mainly group of localities of Nemegtian age (early Maastrichtian), Late Cretaceous; B, Localities of Central Gobi Desert in Mongolia, mainly Djadokhtian age (Campanian), Late Cretaceous; C & D- Localities of Eastern Gobi Desert in Mongolia, mainly Baynshirenian age (Cenomanian-Santonian), Late Cretaceous. Figure has been modified from Tsogtbaatar et al. 2014, Figure 1 [24].
Bexhill Brick Pit below Little Higher Wood in East Sussex, England. The cliff shows the layers of strata of the Hastings Beds with grey areas of Wadhurst Clay needed for the bricks and tiles. The buff/brown areas are sandstones.

Figure 2: Fossil vertebrate locality of Eric the Red West. Shore platform looking west, showing undulating erosive boundary (solid white line) between the top of the Anchor Sandstone (AS) and the base of the ETRW Sandstone (ES). White dashed lines indicate selected bedding surfaces. White scale in mid-ground (indicated by arrow) equals 1 m.

Anzu is a fairly large caenagnathid oviraptorosaurian dinosaur that grew to nearly 4 m in length, and weighed 200-300 kg. It was a bipedal dinosaur and was covered in feathers, with a large sloping crest atop its head. Typical of oviraptorosaurs, Anzu had a short toothless beak, an adaptation that suggests it was most likely herbivorous or possibly omnivorous.
MRF 319, a partial oviraptorosaurian skeleton referred to Anzu wyliei. (A) Skeletal reconstruction in left lateral view, with preserved bones in gray and bones represented in other Anzu specimens in white (hatching indicates heavily reconstructed portions of the ilia of CM 78001). Middle-posterior (ninth?) cervical vertebra in (B) anterior, (C) left lateral, and (D) dorsal views. Posterior (11th?) cervical vertebra in (E) anterior, (F) left lateral, and (G) dorsal views. Posterior (12th?) cervical vertebra in (H) anterior, (I) left lateral, and (J) dorsal views. Anteroposteriorly crushed left radius in lateral (K) and anterior (L) views.
