The Issue

We are Bucktail High School Ecology class and the student government club, we are attempting to change the state fossil! This will affect Pennsylvania's history forever, and help celebrate America’s 250th birthday in 2026. If the state fossil stays the Trilobite (Phacops rana) it stops Pennsylvania from being unique and does not show our history. We are in the process of changing the state fossil to the Hynerpeton bassetti(Crawling monster from Hyner). The time is NOW to change the fossil so we can help celebrate America250PA and the heritage of Clinton County.
