Apparently, West Virginia now has a "state fossil." And while it's cool, I guess, to have it be the bones of a prehistoric beast that is orders of magnitude larger than its modern descendants, couldn't we have picked something a little more vigorous?
Now prepare yourself for one of West Virginia's newly acquired symbols: The Megalonyx jeffersonii.No, really, we're "open for business," it just takes us a while to answer the door.
The Mega-what?
In generic terms, you could call it an extinct ground sloth.
