As the dinosaurs head to Red Rock for the concert, the conductor explains that the mountains used to be the ocean floor, where fossils can be found. Since the Earth is made of plates, they shift and bump into each other, which pushes land masses from the sea to the top, creating mountains and cliffs. As a result, several fossils of the undersea creatures can be found in the Red Rock cliffs.
