List Of U.S. State Fossils
Most American states have made a state fossil designation, in many cases during the 1980s. It is common to designate one species in which fossilization has occurred, rather than a single specimen, or a category of fossils not limited to a single species. Some states that lack an explicit state fossil have nevertheless singled out a fossil for formal designation as a state dinosaur, rock, gem or stone. __TOC__ Table of state fossils States lacking a state fossil * Hawaii * Minnesota ** The giant beaver was proposed in 2022. * Iowa ** The crinoid was proposed in 2018. * New Hampshire ** The American mastodon (''Mammut americanum'') was considered in 2015. * Rhode Island * Texas See also * List of U.S. state dinosaurs * List of U.S. state minerals, rocks, and gemstones * Lists of U.S. state insignia References External links List of U.S. state fossils, from National Park Service {{state insignia *State Fossils United States Fossils A fossil (from Clas ...
