Minnesota is one of just 7 US states that still does not have a state fossil. So the Science Museum of Minnesota is out to change that! In order to decide, Alex and a big team of folks at the Science Museum have launched a vote for what the state fossil should be. Want to hear all about each of the 9 candidates? There's everything from fossilized bacteria from 2 billion years ago to big mammoths and the coolest choice of all, a massive crocodile-relative with powerful snapping jaws! Tune in and make your choice for Minnesota's State Fossil!
And don't forget to vote! (psst, you don't even have to live in Minnesota) https://new.smm.org/dino-days/mn-state-fossil
