The age and thermal history of the strata containing dinosaurus fossile in Tianzhen County of Shanxi Province have been studied using apatite and zircon fission track analysis.It is shown that the burial age of dinosaurus skeletons is not earlier than Late Cretaceous.The provenance area of the strata had experienced heating events with temperature higher than 200-250℃ 73Ma ago. But the strata has been at environmental temperature and never been affected by heating events since the dinosaurus skeletons were buried.
