DENVER — A new exhibit called Teen Rex opened Friday at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, showcasing a juvenile T-rex found by three kids in the badlands of North Dakota.
Realizing that they had a real fossil, Jessin and Liam’s father, Sam, sent a photo to his friend, Dr. Tyler Lyson, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. “We’re digging and brushing, digging and brushing, and we brush away and we uncovered the lower jaw of a T-rex with several big teeth sticking out of it,” said Lyson. “It was just absolute, pure joy. It’s a moment I’ll never forget.”
“We are really trying to get a better understanding of how dinosaurs grow and mature over their lifetime,” said Toth. “In order to do that, we need fossils of dinosaurs from every single step of that stage of growth."
