Digging into the Cretaceous Period.  (The New York Times,
McCone County, Montana, a treeless, gently rolling prairieland, is sometimes called the dinosaur capital of the world. This is not because more dinosaurs lived in this part of southeastern Montana than anywhere else, but, rather, because geological circumstances favoring fossilization, then erosion, enable paleontologists to find dinosaurs there.

The popularity of Robert as a baby name is graphed here.  Let's take a look at Matilda.


It was all downhill for Matilda after 1900, her peak year on the line graph.  In the late 1950s and early 1960s, she broke the surface gasping for air.  But it wasn't enough to sustain her.  She reappeared in 2008 and looked to be on the comeback trail until 2016, when she stalled out in the upper 400s.
