When Argentinian geologist Federico Alvarez Hazer immigrated to Baltimore one year ago to live with his wife, he imagined that his days working on fossil dig sites close to home — as he had in South America’s Patagonia region — were over.
He was shocked to discover Dinosaur Park: a 3.63-acre tract of land nestled behind a business park in Laurel, Maryland that had been preserved following the discovery of several fossils more than 100 million years old.
And he was even more surprised when he quickly found himself involved in a noteworthy discovery at the park, unveiled at a news conference Wednesday morning.
