Two things about Maryland I never knew until today, and that means I should know more about here than I do (well, that's probably true of any place that I happen to be located), but in any case:
State dinosaur: Astrodon johnstoni (The link on that page shows where most of the Maryland dinosaur fossils are found.)
It's a sauropod, a brother to the more well-known Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus, or Diplodocus.
State gemstone: Patuxent River Agate
Here's the cool thing that links the two: the Patuxent River Agate is petrified dinosaur bone.
I've got a couple of shark's teeth picked up nearby, but I need to get me one of these. But first I need to find someone who could actually identify it for me!
