Dinosaurs In Your Own Backyard

Today, I pose the question as to which dinosaurs may have lived in your own backyards? For me, Pennsylvania doesn't exactly have a rich fossil history as far as dinosaurs go. However, there is evidence for some species like footprints and a fragment or two. Here are some species that likely walked in my backyard...

 

Dilophosaurus

 

Syntarsus

 

Anchisaurus

 

Coelophysis(or a close relative)

 

Dinosaurs Known From Neighboring States That May Have Lived In PA As Well...

 

Hadrosaurus

 

Dryptosaurus

 

Astrodon

 

Acrocanthsaurus

 

Deinonychus

 

It's likely that more dinosaurs walked Pennsylvania, but we have little evidence of it. So what about you guys? What dinosaurs called your homes, their homes?

Dodge is "mainstream" nowadays, i think that's why it's "gay" to this kid. I have an '04 dodge ranger, and i love it. not really the best on gas, but still reliable.

Truly, there are those kids who are just...not the brightest light bulb. They come in almost every day and can't really even use proper english, saddening.

Well I know some people who you wouldn't say they would be qualified to even become a cashier, but realize that what if you were to somehow end up with a job flipping burgers and such? Just don't call them stupid or anything, I like to call them "Unisnpired"...

Yah, a lot of my friends call things "gay" when they know it isn't. It's sort of become a slang, well it is a slang, but now it's forming into ANOTHER slang term.

i get kids coming in a the time looking for a job...and that's mainly cuz Fast food basically always hires. A high turn over rate too....So they're always accepting new kids. I myself just hired 2..most kids, this is an entry level job that sets them up for greater oppurtunity in the future.

I'm aware it's slang raptor, but when its used to describe something some one doesn't like...its annoying, ya know?

Dodge.... Ranger......? You're either thinking Dodge DAKOTA, or FORD Ranger.

I prefer Dodge myself (My dad drives a Ram 2500 Mega Cab 4x4), with GM as a near second. I've always liked Dodge, and my Jeep is a Chrysler, being Jeep and all. If it's Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram or Plymouth, it's good to me (as long as it isn't a van, I hate vans from all companies).

I'm not a fan of Ford myself. My Jeep has transmission issues at the moment, but once it's fixed it'll be great. It's got a 305 Small block Chevy engine with aftermarket headers and dual exhaust. It sounds just like a muscle car.

Apparently the first Ford car had Dodge engines.

I doubt it. Ford was the first automaker I think. I know that Ford had a share of Cummins (the Diesel engines used in Dodge) in the 80's and 90's, but have since switched to Powerjoke.

that sounds sweet! Transmission is easy enough to fix, they typically have few issues other then the transmission and gear shifting..otherwise they're awesome.

It's just been sitting for a long time. My dad wants to take it for a drive on the road before doing any other work on it. It won't go any higher than first, and the shifter is cobbled in by my dad's friend, so maybe just putting the linkage in properly will fix it. The thing is an automatic unfortunately.

This has gone fairly off the original topic... Thats, Thats when topics get fun.

 

Swag is also a shortened version of swagger, Just thought I'd throw that up there... 

 

The thing I don't quite understand, is how can a car company be gay? (Also, I think your correct, Ford was one of the first to began mass manufacturing cars around the turn of the century 1900) I can see how it could be happy... But Not homasexual...

 

Tis but a shame out of the hands of complex minded people like us...

Life cannot be contained, it breaks walls, crashes through barriers sometimes painfully, but uh... Life uh, finds a way

Stegosaurus

Ceratosaurus

Sauropods

Alamosaurus

Utahraptor

Acrocanthosaurus

Struthiomimus

Wow, this really did get off topic, haha.

 

Now that I look over my list(which doesn't seem compared with some of these places that don't have any fossils), I noticed a trend. PA seems to have(at least for dinosaurs) primarily early Jurassic and early Cretaceous. Interesting.
