Southwest England. It even forms part of what is known as the Jurassic Coast, and played a crucial role in the early history of fossil discoveries and palaeontology. Mary Anning was born in Dorset; in Lyme Regis, to be precise.

Hmm very interesting :)

"The 130 million-year-old specimen has been named Goniopholis Kiplini after Rudyard Kipling - author of The Jungle Book - in recognition of his enthusiasm for natural sciences."

"On a damp, wintry day in Swanage, we have to imagine a world of lush tropical trees, balmy hot lagoons, and crocodiles of all sizes swimming and snapping lazily at dinosaurs on the sea shore"
Which might of looked like this :)
