GeoJeopardy! Fridays

It is that time again for GeoJeopardy! Fridays, because those of us in school need a distraction from Finals Week.

- Official State Dinosaurs & Fossils -

The Triceratops found in this state's Black Hills won official fossil status

Montana's state fossil, the Maiasaura, had this type of mouth, like the platypus

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Haddonfield, in this Eastern state, was the site of the first "nearly complete" dinosaur find - a Hadrosaurus
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The teeth from Maryland's Astrodon were cut open in 1858 & revealed this pattern, hence its name

----------------------------------------------------------------

Saurophaganax was named this state's official fossil in 2000 & you can see one at the Sam Noble Museum in Norman
