HONG KONG: Lots of kids attract our attention by their cute gestures but this one did something unusual for a kid. The son of a zookeeper, Wylie Brys, discovered no less than a one hundred million year old dinosaur whilst he dug in the dirt the past September. The report is coming late because during the time preparations were underway to excavate as well as remove the fossil. Excavation took place over the past few days and the bones were removed. Brys found the bone when he along with his father was digging for fish bones in the area where a mall was set to be built. Researchers from Southern Methodist University helped excavate the bones. They have tentatively suggested that it is a heaviy armoured dinosaur.
SMU paleontologist Dale Winkler said, “We were not expecting to find much of it. It looked like the bones had been spread around. We started digging and one bone connected to another bone that connected to another bone that connected to another bone.”
The paleontologists along with volunteers from the Dallas Paleontologists Society began digging on April 3rd and found more of the nodosaur. It is one of the five ever found in the Metroplex and the first one in decades.
