Today's #megafauna is #Maryland 's state #dinosaur! #Astrodon was described using only two teeth, whose star-shaped cross sections gave the dinosaur its name. Although it was the first #sauropod described in North America, we still don't have a complete skeleton.

Astrodon weighed 40,000 lbs, stood 30 ft tall, and reached up to 60 ft long. Living in the early #cretaceous period, this towering dinosaur used its long neck to graze on tree tops high above the reach of other herbivores.
