Utahraptor is now my state dinosaur. :) Not a huge surprise.

"3,000 km to the south, the massive comet crashes into Earth. The light from the impact fades in silence. Then the shock waves arrive. Next comes the blast front. Finally a rain of molten rock starts to fall out of the darkening sky - this is the end of the age of the dinosaurs. The Comet struck the Gulf of Mexico with the force of 10 billion Hiroshima bombs. And with the catastrophic climate changes that followed 65% of all life died out. It took millions of years for the earth to recover but when it did the giant dinosaurs were gone - never to return." - WWD

I think of all the states I've lived in only one has a state dinosaur, and it's a junior synonym of Astrodon. But some pretty good state fossils in the mix: petrified wood, Tullimonstrum, and Eurypterus.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

As for dinosaurs we don't have much more than footprints so our state fossil here in PA is Phacops rana.

No surprise here either; Connecticut designated Dilophosaurus the official state dinosaur in July 2017 (the track of  Eubrontes Giganteus was adopted the official state fossil of Connecticut in 1991). Never knew we had both a state dinosaur and fossil ! ^-^

Congrats to Utah for the correct designation!

Eurypterus was my state fossil in NY for 33 years. Now it's Ecphora gardnerae in Maryland, a five million year old sea snail. Not a lot for fossils where I live now but the Calvert Cliffs are a couple hours away which means Megalodon teeth, if I ever get out there.
