When dinosaurs roamed Alabama

Viz:



It's a dumb headline anyway. They're talking about mosasaurs, which were aquatic reptiles and not dinosaurs. If I remember correctly, they were closer to modern lizards than to dinosaurs and birds. Alabama south and west of Birmingham was under the ocean in the Mesozoic. They had a mosasaur skeleton at the Red Mountain Museum, I remember.
