Three North Dakota kids who found a dead animal while playing outside have been shoving it in people’s faces so loudly and obnoxiously that it captured the national media’s attention.
The Denver Museum of Nature and Science was nicer about it in a press release for a new exhibit and documentary film, hyping the story as an “incredible discovery and display of a juvenile T Rex fossil in its new temporary experience, ‘Discovering Teen Rex’ opening to the public on June 21, at 1:30 pm. What started as a family hike in North Dakota by two young brothers, Jessin and Liam Fisher, their dad, Sam Fisher, and their cousin, Kaiden Madsen, turned into a significant moment for science as only a handful of juvenile T Rex skeletons have ever been found.”
“The public can now see the fossil being prepped in real time at the Museum. The trio of young fossil hunters discovered the T Rex fossil in the North Dakota badlands in 2022 and contacted the Museum’s Curator of Paleontology, Tyler Lyson, who grew up in the same area and went to high school with their father, to identify what they had found. In the summer of 2023, the junior explorers returned to the site to help Dr Lyson’s team of paleontologists excavate the fossil.”
