Maryland's Own Dinosaur Alley

When I was traveling last summer I found a part of Utah and Colorado called the Dinosaur Diamond. But here in Maryland (and the District of Columbia) we have our very own dinosaur fossil sites! In fact, one of the first three dinosaur fossils ever reported in the United States was unearthed in Dinosaur Alley in 1858. Here's a link to a cool Washington Post "Road Trip" article from September 9, 2007.

"Go Cruisin' Down Dinosaur Alley"


My favorite book of Paleontology Poetry is called Bone Poemsby Jeff Moss and is now, apparently, out of print. But you can view some of the pages of the book through Google Reader and, if you like it, used hardcover and paperback copies are available through Amazon.com.
