CHAPTER X.
GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF DINOSAURS.
Remains of Dinosaurs have been found in all the continents, but chiefly in Europe and North America.

Explorations in other parts of the world have not as yet been sufficient to show whether or not each continent developed especial kinds peculiar to it, nor to afford any reliable evidence as to whether the relations of the continents were different during the Mesozoic.

Thus far, the Carnivorous group seems most widespread, for it alone has been found in Australia.

The Sauropods or Amphibious Dinosaurs have been found in Europe, North America, India, Madagascar, Patagonia, and Africa, sufficient to show that their distribution was world wide with the possible exception of Australia, and probable exception of most oceanic islands (few of the modern oceanic islands existed at that time although there may well have been many others no longer extant).

The Beaked Dinosaurs are more limited in their distribution, for none of them so far as at present known reached Australia or South America.
