Why we don’t find frozen dinosaurs?

Why researches don’t find frozen dinosaurs? We often find the rests of mammoths or other mammals but never of dinosaurs and similars.
I wonder if this is due to the location, eg no dinosaur could survive cold climate, or just they are so sparse and the ice so thick that we didn’t found them yet. Maybe the artic wasn’t inhabited at the time? It would be weird, penguins are there now so some must have adapted somehow.

Vastly different timelines.

Dinosaurs lived tens to hundreds of millions of years ago, mammoths lived tens of thousands of years ago.

In those millions of years the continents have moved around.  The glaciers we see now are not the glaciers they had then.  They melted, reformed, probably lots of times.  

So there aren’t any dinosaur-glaciers around, still.  Just dinosaur-rocks.
