Three young boys discovered a T-rex bone poking out of the ground while hiking in North Dakota .Two young brothers and their cousin were wandering through a fossil-rich stretch of the North Dakota badlands when they made a discovery that left them "completely speechless" — a T-rex bone poking out of the ground.
Liam and Jessin Fisher, then seven and 10, and their cousin Kaiden Madsen, then nine, spotted the bone of the famous carnivore.After its death around 67 million years ago, it was entombed in the Hell Creek Formation, a popular palaeontology playground that spans Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas.But none of them knew that then.
Crew from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science have unearthed more than 100 individual T-rex fossils at fossil dig site "The Brothers".But he organised an excavation that began last summer, adding the boys and a sister, Emalynn Fisher, now 14, to the team.Boys dig towards an 'electric' discovery "And it doesn't get any more diagnostic than that, seeing these giant tyrannosaurus teeth starring back at you."
Liam, Jessin and Kaiden — who the brothers consider to be another sibling — affectionately dubbed the fossil "The Brothers".
