In a remarkable find, paleontologists in Maryland have unearthed one of the richest dinosaur fossil sites ever discovered on the East Coast of the United States. The site, located in Prince George’s County, is believed to be over 115 million years old, dating back to the early Cretaceous period.

The excavation revealed fossilized bones, teeth, and even potential footprints of dinosaurs that once roamed the area — including ornithopods, theropods, and possibly early relatives of the T. rex. What makes this discovery especially exciting is that it offers rare insight into what life looked like on the North American continent long before humans walked the Earth.

Scientists say this site could reshape our understanding of dinosaur migration and evolution on the East Coast. Local volunteers have also joined the dig, making it a true community effort blending science, education, and wonder.

As researchers continue to uncover more secrets buried beneath Maryland’s soil, one thing is clear: history isn’t always written in books — sometimes, it’s hiding beneath our feet.
