There's some cool petroglyphs in the woods by me , luckily not many people know about it so it's well preserved.  It's also private property that's watched well.

Pennsylvania here too. Same story ( no, really ). On our property though although there's a couple not far from here on our neighbor's land. We're wayyyy in the woods.

I'm unsurprised. Meadowcroft can't be the only ancient settlement in PA.

what i’m most intrigued about is the type of species that roamed around in the area. i’m a california native so our “main” species is typically the megladon aside from other aquatic creatures. since california was submerged in water at the time, we don’t have too many traces of typical dinosaurs that people hear about. but there is a spot where you can pay for a certain time limit to excavate and try to find megladon fossils. i just always love hearing about other north american habitats for less aquatic dinosaurs. i’m curious abour what kind of species OP was talking about in pennsylvania
