"Suciasaurus rex," the State Dinosaur of Washington

(image source: https://www.heraldnet.com/northwest/suciasaurus-rex-named-washington-states-official-dinosaur/)

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Jason Zolle discuss “Suciasaurus rex,” an informally named fossil that’s probably Daspletosaurus or something but that’s not the state dinosaur of Washington, is it? Listen to our episode on that particular genus. Oh wait, we haven’t actually done an episode on Daspletosaurus yet. Someday, though. From the Late Cretaceous, this possible 30-foot tyrannosaur is from a region that’s terrible with fossil retention, what with the wet soil and volcanic activity, so it’s a miracle anything was found there. Washington’s a crazy place, kids. It’s got volcanoes and rain there. And sparkly vampires. And “Suciasaurus rex,” I suppose. Also, apologies for the lower audio quality, it’s just this one episode!
