It's hard to imagine that meat eating dinosaurs, raptors, and crocodiles once roamed Maryland. But fossils found around the state and around the region prove that it was once that way. In fact, it's possible that giant Sequoia trees once grew here, even if it was 100 million years ago.

Fossil Quest features all kinds of fossils found everywhere from beaches to backyards across Maryland. You'll see 70 million year old crocodile armor, teeth from a 100 million year old Mosasaur, prehistoric shells of oysters and nautilus—even cones that may have dropped from a giant redwood millions of years ago!

Touch a chunk of petrified wood and meet our state dinosaur with the star shaped tooth. Discover why the layer of earth we find fossils in tells us a lot about how old they are then try to solve the mystery of the Wall of Impossible Fossils.
