LUSAKA: Move over, young Indiana Jones. Four-year-old Wylie Brys found 100-million-year-old dinosaur bones near a shopping center in Texas. The rare fossils the boy found belonged to a horse-size dinosaur.
Wylie had been excavating with his father Tim, who is a zookeeper. They had been “dino-digging” near a shopping center development in Mansfield, Texas. Mansfield is a suburb of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex region.
When Wylie showed his father the animal bones, his father was certain it was something “interesting,” according to Review Journal. He calls finding the bones an event that happens “once” in a lifetime.
Tim thought at first that all the bones were turtle bones. Researchers now think that some turtle bones were possibly mixed with the dinosaur bones.
Wiley had made the discovery of the bones last September. However, he learned on Saturday that the bones were actually dinosaur fossils, according to New York Daily News.
