It has been thousands of years since dinosaurs walked the earth, yet people are still finding remnants of their world today. There are plenty of places where those that are interested in dinosaurs can go and look for fossils, but apparently one of the best areas to find them is right here in Texas. A new report recently revealed that Texas is in the top 10 for most dinosaur fossils found in the entire country.
Finding dinosaur bones and fossils in America is nothing new, as every state has spent years digging through their soil trying to discover new information about the prehistoric world. Of course, some states have found more dinosaur activity than others, and now a new report has revealed which states have found the most dinosaur pieces over the years. According to CW33, Texas has found the 8th most dinosaur fossils in the entire country.
The study, conducted by Stacker, looked at data from the Paleobiology Database to find how many fossils have been found in each state. Over the years, Texas has recorded 497 fossils, which seems like nothing compared to the number one state, California, which has recorded 1,988 fossils. If they lasted on Earth longer, its likely California dinosaurs would have moved to Texas too.
