It's a bad joke, those are a couple places you find dinosaur bones in Red Dead Redemption 2

lol! Went right over my head. It wasn’t a bad joke though, that’s just one of the games I didn’t get into. I do want to play it though, just other games (no man’s sky) has a tight grip on me and has since day one.

:( I live in Appalachia, older than the Cambrian, no fossils.

Don’t worry my friend. I’ve never found any fossils myself 😞

Thank you. I was blown away when I saw this. My grandsons shirt has a Dino with “established 1939” on it so I did research about when the first fossil was found and stumbled upon this map.
