Stratigraphy is a branch of geology which studies rock layers (strata) and layering (stratification).

It is primarily used in the study of sedimentary and layered volcanic rocks.

Fossils (from Classical Latin fossilis; literally, "obtained by digging") are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the remote past.

The totality of fossils, both discovered and undiscovered, and their placement in fossiliferous (fossil-containing) rock formations and sedimentary layers (strata) is known as the fossil record.

Geology (from the Ancient Greek γῆ, gē, i.e. "earth" and -λoγία, -logia, i.e. "study of, discourse") is an earth science concerned with the solid Earth, the rocks of which it is composed, and the processes by which they change over time.

Geology can also refer generally to the study of the solid features of any terrestrial planet (such as the geology of the Moon or Mars).

Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles of the clade Dinosauria that first appeared during the Triassic.

Although the exact origin and timing of the evolution of dinosaurs is the subject of active research, the current scientific consensus places their origin between 231 and 243 million years ago.

They became the dominant terrestrial vertebrates after the Triassic–Jurassic extinction event 201 million years ago.

Their dominance continued through the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and ended when the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event led to the extinction of most dinosaur groups 66 million years ago.

A mineral is a naturally occurring chemical compound, usually of crystalline form and abiogenic in origin.

A mineral has one specific chemical composition, whereas a rock can be an aggregate of different minerals or mineraloids.

The study of minerals is called mineralogy.
