It it doesn't answer the question, "Which dinosaurs lived in my hometown?" Seriously, I clicked on the link thinking I'd be able to get a list of the dinosaurs that are believed to have lived in my hometown. As cool as this link is, it doesn't answer "Which dinosaurs lived in my hometown?"

I was expecting to be able to click the globe where I live and see Dinosaur info.

seems you have to use the search for place.

Good to know it wasn't just me who couldn't find an option to answer the actual thing it purports to tell you

That's because the poster made up a clickbait title, which they shouldn't have done.

This link was extraordinarily fascinating, and I learned a lot but it didn’t deliver on that promise for me, either.

If you enter a place it will provide a list of fossils potentially nearby. It seems limited and not quite as cool as as say, showing a field guide of dinos in your area during a time period.

Thats what it does, you can adjust the year at the top
