Bill > S2115

This bill establishes the Jurassic Armored Mud Ball as the official sedimentary structure of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by amending Chapter 2 of the General Laws. A sedimentary structure is a geological formation created by the deposition and compression of sediments over time, and in this case, the Jurassic Armored Mud Ball is a specific type of geological formation dating from the Jurassic period. The legislation is straightforward, simply adding a new section to the existing law that formally recognizes this particular geological feature as having an official status within the state. While the bill might seem unusual, it is not uncommon for states to designate official state symbols, which can include geological formations, to celebrate local natural history and heritage.
