"Teen Rex" Discovery with Dr. Tyler Lyson

We're thrilled to unveil the extraordinary discovery of a teenage T. rex fossil - lovingly dubbed "Teen Rex" - in our newest exhibition, "Discovering Teen Rex," opening June 21. What began as a family outing for two young brothers, their father, and cousin in North Dakota, has evolved into a groundbreaking scientific moment. Juvenile T. rex skeletons are exceedingly rare finds globally, making this discovery all the more significant. Visitors can witness the fossil up close in the prep lab inside "Discovering Teen Rex" and delve into the captivating story behind its unearthing through the "T. rex" movie screening at our state-of-the-art Infinity Theater. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to witness history in the making!

Every time I see Dr. Lyson my brain screams "that's the dino mummy boy!" so I'm thrilled that these young fellows made such an important find.

He says this new find can help answer how T. rex grew from a "fluffy, chicken-sized animal into the mega-ton predator that it was 66 mya" When was it determined that young T. rex were fluffy? I know there's been ongoing *speculation* since the 80's or 90's that they had fluffy babies. It's a bit concerning that a scientist is treating that speculation as an established fact.
