I dug up dinosaur bones in the Morrison Formation near Fruita with Jim Kirkland, a paleontologist and geologist. (I have the rock-hammer injuries to the first knuckle of my left index finger to prove it.)

Yes, dinosaur bones tend to be found with fossils of aquatic life. That's because fossilization requires quick sedimentation, and that occurs most frequently in rivers and along some shorelines. The site where I dug was in what had been a river bend.
