On this site, you can set the period from 750 million years ago to the present day. There are a total of 26 periods and every time you switch from the one you will see big changes. At first, you won't be able to tell what's what, but when you reach some 66 million you'll recognize most of the planet.

What interests us in all this is which dinosaurs walked in our area.

A pin will now appear on the map indicating where the place is today, so you can see where it was before. Also, below the search results, you will see a list of dinosaurs that were nearby in the selected period.
