Dinosaur head fossil edit

Latest comment: 10 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Looking for a paleontologist in the state of Vermont to tell me if I have dug up a dinosaur head fossil. I can be contacted at alynch@hughes.net May 23,2014 Andrea Lynch--67.142.182.21 (talk) 14:31, 23 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

There aren't any Mesozoic-aged rocks in Vermont, so it couldn't be a dinosaur. Do you have any photographs of the specimen? I'm not a "real" paleontologist, but I might be able to identify it. Abyssal (talk) 14:37, 23 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
