Because of the extraordinarily rich paleontological heritage of

the State of Oklahoma, the Legislature hereby declares Saurophaganax

Maximus to be the State Fossil of Oklahoma. This spectacular

dinosaur, the “greatest king of reptile eaters”, once roamed this

great land. It is only known from Oklahoma and has surpassed the

predator of earth’s history.
