Juvenile Tyrannosaurus Rex Skeleton Found in South Dakota
A near complete juvenile T rex skeleton dubbed Tinker has been found north of Belle Fourche, South Dakota, and is being prepared in Texas. Paleontologists say the 66 million year old fossil, about 23 feet long and weighing 1200 to 1500 pounds, reveals growth patterns and juvenile form while jaws indicate an adult diet. The specimen, 75 to 90 percent complete, was discovered in 1998 by amateur hunter Ron Frithiof and team led by late Houston paleontologist Mike Harrell.
