A number of dinosaurs, such as Amphicoelias are known from only one fossil specimen. Many other dinosaurs were never preserved as fossils and so will never be known to mankind.

There are many dinosaur species with very few fossils found, making it difficult to determine which has the absolute least. Some examples include the Spinosaurus and Irritator, which are known from limited fossil discoveries.
Soft tissue such as muscles, organs, and skin are least likely to be found as fossils because they decay rapidly after death and are not easily preserved in the fossil record.
Dinosaur fossils are typically millions of years old, dating back to the Mesozoic Era, which spanned from around 252 to 66 million years ago. Scientists determine the age of dinosaur fossils by using various dating methods like radiometric dating and stratigraphy.
Fossils of tropical plants and animals would be least likely found in Antarctica, as the continent's climate and environment are not conducive to supporting such organisms.
Yes, fossils have been found in Quebec near the St. Lawrence River. In fact, the region is known for its rich fossil heritage, with discoveries ranging from ancient marine creatures to plants. These fossils provide valuable insights into the geological history of the area.
Animal behavior would be the least likely to be learned by studying animal fossils, as behavior is not typically preserved in the fossil record. Fossils generally provide information about the anatomy, physiology, and ecological relationships of ancient organisms rather than their specific behaviors.
