Paleogeographic reconstruction showing the Appalachian Basin area during the Middle Devonian period. No Precambrian fossils are known from Pennsylvania. As such, the state's fossil record does not begin until the Paleozoic. During the early part of the Paleozoic, Pennsylvania was located near the eastern coast of a continent called Laurentia.
Mainly known from a single skull and a few extremely thick skull roofs (at 22 cm or 9 in thick), Pachycephalosaurus is estimated to have reached 4.5 m (15 ft) long and weighed 370–450 kg (820–990 lb). More complete fossils would come to be found in the following years.

Researchers have uncovered a "dinosaur highway" after hundreds of giant prehistoric footprints dating back 166 million years were found in an English quarry.

In the study, they found that this dinosaur was not T. rex after all but a never-before-seen sister species, Tyrannosaurus mcraeensis. This species was older and perhaps even larger than the T. rex.
The Hadrosaurus foulkii Leidy Site is a historic paleontological site in Haddonfield, Camden County, New Jersey.Now set in state-owned parkland, it is where the first relatively complete set of dinosaur bones were discovered in 1838, and then fully excavated by William Parker Foulke in 1858.
