United States would officially name the American mastodon and T-Rex as national fossils
This bill would give the United States its first official national fossil mammal and national fossil dinosaur. It would name the American mastodon and the Tyrannosaurus rex as these symbols. This change would offer symbolic recognition for these important prehistoric creatures to all Americans.
Currently, the United States does not have any official national fossil mammal or dinosaur. If this bill becomes law, the American mastodon would become the national fossil mammal, and the Tyrannosaurus rex would become the national fossil dinosaur, giving these prehistoric creatures official symbolic recognition.
