Maryland's first Dinosaur Park
Where Dinosaurs Once Walked
New 7.5-acre Park Near Laurel Is Called 'One Of The Most Prolific Sites For Dinosaur And Plant Fossils East Of The Mississippi River'
October 25, 2009|By Frank D. Roylance , [email protected]
One hundred million years in development, Maryland's first dinosaur park is set to be turned over Monday to the Prince George's County Department of Parks and Recreation and opened to the public.

The 7.5-acre parcel contains what county archaeologist Donald Creveling called "one of the most prolific sites for dinosaur and plant fossils east of the Mississippi River, and it's right here between Baltimore and Washington."

While the park will provide public parking, walkways, evocative plantings and interpretive signs, access to the fossil deposits themselves will be limited.

1. Hmm. Definitely sounds worth a trip around the Beltway for me.
Even if the fossils (which is what I want to see) access is limited. Thanks for posting!:)
