California: The Golden State for Dinosaurs?
You might think of California as a place of sunshine, beaches, and tech giants. But did you know it was also home to some pretty gnarly creatures millions of years ago? That's right, dinosaurs! Before Silicon Valley, there was Dino Valley, and it was way less chill.

Dino Deficient? Not Quite!
Now, let's get one thing straight: California isn't exactly a dinosaur hotspot like, say, Montana. We're more like the "cute and quirky" friend in the dinosaur world. But hey, we've got our own charm!
Augustynolophus: Our state dinosaur, this duck-billed beauty rocked the Cretaceous period. Imagine a giant, herbivorous goofball with a fancy head crest. We're talking about the dinosaur equivalent of a California surfer dude.
QuickTip: Ask yourself what the author is trying to say.
Nodosaurus: This armored tank of a dinosaur was also hanging out in the Golden State. It was basically nature's first attempt at a walking fortress. We like to imagine it cruising down the coast, sunbathing on the prehistoric beaches.
Where'd They Go?
You might be wondering, "If California had dinosaurs, where are all the skeletons?" Well, that's a great question! California is a pretty geologically active place, which means a lot of dinosaur bones got recycled into mountains, earthquakes, and other dramatic events. It's like trying to find a needle in a very, very large haystack.
QuickTip: Break down long paragraphs into main ideas.
But don't worry, paleontologists are still digging up cool stuff all the time. So who knows, maybe tomorrow we'll discover a T-Rex chilling in Hollywood.
