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.
