A large dinosaur discovery right here in Maryland. It happened during an April dig at the Dinosaur Park in Laurel. Local paleontologists are calling it the largest fossil discovery in Eastern North America. It’s a three-foot shin bone believed to have come from a 38-foot long Acrocanthosaurus, a carnivorous ancestor of the Tyrannosaurus Rex that lived 115 million years ago. It’s not the first time dinosaur fossils have been dug up at the park. Discoveries were made going back as early as 2018. This latest one, however, elevated the park to what’s known as “bonebed” status, the first of its kind in Maryland since 1887. #cool #fossil #dinosaur #explorepage #dinosaurbones
