Saurophaganax Maximus
Adopted on April 14, 2000.
Senate Bill No. 1185
An Act relating to definitions and general provisions; naming the state fossil; providing for codification; and declaring an emergency.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Oklahoma:
SECTION 1. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 98.6 of Title 25, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
Because of the extraordinarily rich paleontological heritage of the State of Oklahoma, the Legislature hereby declares Saurophaganax Maximus to be the State Fossil of Oklahoma. This spectacular dinosaur, the "greatest king of reptile eaters", once roamed this great land. It is only known from Oklahoma and has surpassed the Tyrannosaurus rex, the "king of the dinosaurs", as the greatest predator of earth's history.
SECTION 2. It being immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety, an emergency is hereby declared to exist, by reason whereof this act shall take effect and be in full force from and after its passage and approval.
-
Approved April 14, 2000. Emergency.
