Dingell and Houchin introduce bipartisan National Fossil Act designating the mastodon and T. rex as national symbols.
Quiver AI Summary
Legislation Introduced for National Fossil Recognition: U.S. Representatives Debbie Dingell and Erin Houchin have introduced the National Fossil Act, proposing to designate the American mastodon as the national fossil mammal and the Tyrannosaurus rex as the national fossil dinosaur of the United States. The American mastodon is particularly significant to Michigan, which hosts a high density of its fossils.
Support for the Act Emphasized: Congresswoman Dingell noted, “Recognizing them as national symbols is a reminder that discovery is part of who we are as a country.” Congresswoman Houchin echoed this sentiment, stating that the bill celebrates a vital part of America's history and encourages interest in science and paleontology.
Next Steps for the Proposal: If passed, these additions would align the American mastodon and T. rex alongside existing national symbols like the bald eagle and bison. The initiative builds on previous bipartisan efforts and has garnered support from several other representatives.
