Whilst hiking in Alberta, Canada, 12-year-old Nathan made a discovery of a lifetime.

He found a dinosaur skeleton dating back 69 million years.

He spotted the fossilised bones sticking out from a rock in July, and last week, the skeleton was dug up completely.

Nathan said he was "speechless" when he first saw the bones.

Nathan has been interested in dinosaurs since he was six and often goes hiking and looking for fossils with his dad.

When he found the fossilised bones he said "I wasn't even excited, even though I know I should have [been]".

"I was in so much shock that I had actually found a dinosaur discovery."

Knowing that any fossils are protected by the law, Nathan and his dad headed home to report their prehistoric find.

They contacted the Royal Tyrrell Museum, in Alberta, that's devoted to the study of prehistoric life. The museum told them to take send photos of the discovery and to tell them exactly where they found them, which they did.

On further investigation, the museum confirmed that Nathan had found the skeleton of a Hadrosaur, an extremely significant find because of it's age.

The fossil was about 69 million years old, and records from that time period are rare.

"This young Hadrosaur is a very important discovery because it comes from a time interval for which we know very little about what kind of dinosaurs or animals lived in Alberta.

Nathan and Dion's find will help us fill this big gap in our knowledge of dinosaur evolution," the museum's palaeo-ecology curator, François Therrien, said in a statement.

Nathan said his favourite dinosaur used to be a T-rex but after his discovery it's a Hadrosaur.

He is looking forward to seeing the experts dig the skeleton out of the ground he said: "It's going to be great to see them, after months of work, finally take something out of the ground."

Easy bro

.

is it true that one cup of rice is now #150
chai iiiiii Nigeria is finished

Camelot65:
Macsjebs don come again with all im 600 million years ago

The next discovery may be the fossil of 6 billion years flying antelope.


Abi scientists are related to a certain Lying 'hamed?

69 million gini?.....
Righteousness....

How many years this time? Oh! Okay 69 million. E never too tey sef

Abegi

This thing dey like say na lie

Mumu boy if na me any info leading to the location of the fossil must warrant a little pocket infrastructure . I'll take pictures of the fossil and send it to you to make you know I mean business. After that I cover the visible parts with sand. Then before you get the exact location, something must be dropped.

What I don't get yet is that does the last picture represent the picture of the "fossilized bones"? If yes, but we were told in the article that the skeleton is yet to be dug.
If it is yet to be dug, then how can they easily conclude that it is a "fossilized bone"? After all, there are unfossilized bones that have been found.
Everything must just sound old just to justify uniforimitarianism

Keep it up boy! You'll soon discover the one of 600 million years.

Where's MrsRighteousness sef?

Cool

Sparogatively, how would all the dragons that once supposedly walked on this earth just go extinct leaving only the dragonfly ?

I can only imagine what a lonely world it would be for the insect dragon

Dragons may be confused as a type of Dinosaur by many, but note, Dragons exist only in stories and myths. However, dinosaurs were once real creatures as these scientists have made us believe.

they use a means called carbon dating to get the approximate number of years,they just dont guess it as most of you think.

Do you think people guess it, everyone knows about carbon dating, it just that is it efficient.

On the contrary, if they agree to carbon date Dino fossils, There would be problem among the scientific community. Also, any lab that does the dating may be in serious trouble of being labelled "enemy of science"
