Ancient Dinosaur Bonebed Unearthed in Maryland Park
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The New York Times
Paleontologists and volunteers in Maryland have discovered a "bonebed" of dinosaur fossils in a park, which could be the widest-ranging discovery of fossils of different species on the East Coast. The fossils, including those of dinosaurs and stingrays over 100 million years old, were found in Dinosaur Park in South Laurel, Maryland. The discovery includes a 3-foot-long shin bone from a theropod, a type of carnivorous dinosaur, which has never been found on the East Coast before. This finding will provide valuable information about the ancient environment and extinct animals of the Cretaceous period in Maryland.
