I got out of the hospital today and some friends went to the dinosaur park with me!! <3

I had a great time, but I'm also exhausted. Good night everyone!!!

The park we went to is Dino-Park Münchehagen!!

Parasaurolophus walkeri, a large Hadrosaurid dinosaur known from the Dinosaur Park formation in Alberta, Canada during the late Cretaceous period (76.5-73 Mya), recognizable for its iconic crest which it likely used for display and for communication.

This might be my last major post for a while since I'm going off to college next week!!! I'm excited and nervous and I'm going to be very busy 💖

Impressions of two different specimens of the centrosaurine ceratopsian Styracosaurus albertensis; the Holotype specimen that was found in the 1910s at the top, and specimen UALVP55900 (nicknamed “Hannah) which was discovered more than a hundred years later in 2015 and is a truly rare example of asymmetry in the skulls of ceratopsians and in dinosaurs as a whole, at the bottom.

“…at a news conference at the Prince George’s County park Wednesday, officials and paleontologists announced the April discovery of the largest theropod fossil in eastern North America, a three-foot-long shin bone they hypothesize is from Acrocanthosaurus, a spiny, sharp-toothed carnivore from the Early Cretaceous period — about 38 feet long.

The discovery of additional dinosaur fossils soon followed, a trove of prehistory wrested from ironstone and clay. More than 100 fossils, estimated to be 115 million years old, have been found so far in a dinosaur bone bed along what had once been a river. A bone bed is the term paleontologists use to describe a concentration of bones of one or more species within a geologic layer.

The finding ‘marks a fundamental, extraordinary milestone in the field of paleontology and opens a window into our ancient world and to the species that once roamed this land,’ Peter A. Shapiro, chairman of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, said at a news conference.”
