yes, allthought you wont find any fossils due to heavy erosion caused by the multiple ice-ages.
I put into the browser command „cretaceous map europe“ and it will show you that all of Finland’s area was land at some point. Or you may try to search for „Were there any Dinosaur roaming around in modern day Finlands area“ the gist will be the same
If you promise you won’t tell anybody else, we can tell you that there still is.
The Arkadia Hill
Have to ask. Why this map?
Yes, two of worst kind of carnivores, Riikkasaurus and Orposaurus were known roam the area, their diet did consist mostly of poor & weak people.
There was probably glaciers in the way
As a kid, I read some (obviously) German general knowledge books that were aimed at the youth in the 1950s and 1960s. I remember vividly the chapter about ammonites and trilobites and how they can be found on flagstones in stairwells. I tried very hard to look for them in the concrete of our stairs…
Most likely, Finland was located More south and most of its land mass wass above sea level during Late Cretaceous period (last epoch with dinosaurus Alive). However, dinosaur fossils cannot be found in Finland due to the erosion caused by ice ages.
Finnish soil is either extremly young or extremly old.
I think will still have dinosaurs in our forests. And dragons and other predators.
It is debatable are dinosaurs still among us, the modern birds are close relatives to them.
Most likely.
During the Jurassic period, Finland was between 40-50° latitude, so somewhat further south than today. Additionally, the Earth’s climate during the Jurassic was somewhat warmer than it is now. The climate would have been warm, humid, and subtropical-to-temperate climate. Rich fern forests and conifers would have covered it with plenty of dinosaurs roaming around.

As the map shows, the area comprising modern Scandinavia, Finland, the Baltics, and part of Russia formed its own small sub-continent, which likely meant some unique evolutionary tracks. Unfortunately, subsequent ice ages have erased most of the Mesozoic strata.
The continents were differently shaped back then, so there was no such thing as „Finland’s area“. But dinosaurs occupied pretty much the whole world, yeah. The fossils only survived in a few environments.
Yes, bones of Moominosaurus Suomessa have been found in Karelia and Kainuu.
There’s still one roaming the streets of Helsinki.
People call it Erkki Tuomioja.

You might find some fossils but if you tell someone Museovirasto will come and take the fossils to sweden and deny any knowledge of the said fossils
