外刊阅读——学会地道英语 男孩们发现罕见未成年霸王龙化石
Some boys go out for a hike in North Dakota. They find the fossil (化石)of a young Tyrannosaurus rex (T. rex 霸王龙).
Jessin Fisher and his brother Liam are traveling with their dad, Sam, and their 9-year-old cousin Kaiden Madsen. They find a big bone coming out of the dirt.
Sam takes a photo of the bone and sends it to Tyler Lyson. Tyler Lyson is a scientist who studies fossils. Lyson thinks it is a common dinosaur fossil. He asks the boys to dig it out with his team. As soon as they get to work, however, they make a surprising finding: big teeth that only a T. rex has.
They dig out the dinosaur’s teeth, legs and other bones. ▲ There, Lyson finds they are from a 13-year-old T. rex about 67 million years ago. There are only about four young T. rex fossils like it in the world.
When reporters ask Jessin what he would like to say to other kids, Jessin says, “Just put down your phones and go out for a hike.”
