Fossil live

Palm Root – Indonesia Fossilized palm root found in Indonesia is typically from the Miocene epoch, which dates it to around 5 to 23 million years old. The exact age can vary depending on the specific geological formation where it was discovered. In Indonesia, much of this material comes from areas with rich volcanic and sedimentary activity that preserved plant materials exceptionally well, particularly in regions like Java or Sumatra. Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops roamed the Earth during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 68 to 66 million years ago. They existed for about 2 million years before going extinct during the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) mass extinction event, which wiped out most dinosaurs.

To summarize: Timeframe: 68–66 million years ago Duration: ~2 million years Location: Western North America (areas like modern-day Montana, South Dakota, Alberta, etc. ) T-Rex in the Jurassic period: that's a super common misconception — probably because of the Jurassic Park franchise! But in reality: T. rex and Triceratops lived during the Late Cretaceous period, not the Jurassic. The Jurassic period was earlier, from about 201 to 145 million years ago.

The Cretaceous period came next, from 145 to 66 million years ago, and that’s when T. rex and Triceratops appeared — very close to the end of the age of dinosaurs.
