The following (attached) is my attempt at downloading data for Phanerozoic > Mesozoic > Jurassic > Dinosauria pbdb_data.csv

Why is the spatial distribution so concentrated for Dinosauria? Why are they all in the Rocky Mountain and West Coast regions?

I discovered that using JS to read JSON is much less of a hassle than CSV, so I downloaded Dinosauria data as JSON from the PaleobioDB using this request: https://paleobiodb.org/data1.2/occs/list.json?datainfo&rowcount&base_name=Dinosauria&pgm=gplates,scotese,seton&show=full&limit=1000000
