Voting open until Sept. 30 for Minnesota's state fossil
Oxytropidoceras posted a topic in Fossil News
Help select the state fossil! There are nine candidates, and voting closes on September 30 KARE, Channel 11 Help Choose Minnesota’s State Fossil Minnesota is one of just seven US states without a state fossil. That’s why the Science Museum of Minnesota is leading the effort to name a fossil for Minnesota—and you can help! There are two important qualifications to be chosen as the Minnesota State Fossil: 1.The fossil needs to be found naturally in Minnesota (sorry, no T. rex here) 2. The candidate has to be old enough to be found as a fossil Yours, Paul H. -
http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-me-ln-california-state-dinosaur-20170923-story.html California decided that it needed another state fossil and chose Augustynolophus morrisi to be it, mostly because it was only found in California for now. Its a pretty nice hadrosaur, but what intrigues me is that they are only found in the Moreno Formation, which is usually a Cretaceous ocean zone famous for their mosasaurs. Decided to fish this one out after one of my classmates did a current event report on it

Alan Detrich's second attempt a getting a state fossil. He was going for Xiphactinus the first time but others suggested pteranodon (personal favorite) and the attempt fell out of focus. http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2013/oct/09/fossil-hunter-attempting-another-go-getting-state-/ Trying to get a "mosasaur" for state fossil is like suggesting "lizard" for state reptile- it's rather unspecific. It will be interesting to see further developments... -Kris
