Hot Spots
Dinosaur bones were reported as early as 1828 from
India (Jabalpur) by an army officer called Captain (later General) W. H.
Sleeman only four years after the first description
of Megalosaurus by William Buckland in 1824.
As of 2010, that's 182 years ago, and their palAeontologists haven't exactly been pulling up trees since... unless you count Bruhathkayosaurus matleyi... which may have really been trees! However, they have had a steady stream of exciting discoveries, plus a plethora of unofficialy described tat.
