From an early age,
Dinosaurs have really fascinated me. One of my first memories (probably around
the age of 2 years old) I remember looking up at an enormous Tyrannosaurus Rex
skeleton at my local museum.
We have recently seen an interesting treasure concerning
Dinosaurs and fossils…could an amazing fossil treasure be near you?
I was fascinated to learn that Dinosaur fossils have been discovered in nearly every country in the world. Could an amazing fossil be underneath your feet right now?
In Montana (U.S.A.) in 2006, landowners discovered an
amazing find. What looked like a jumble or rocks exposed by the elements turned
out to be a once in a lifetime find.
Millions of years ago a Juvenile Tyrannosaurus Rex attacked
a Ceratopsian (a dinosaur species not unlike a Triceratops). While the fight likely started over a T-Rex meal, it likely turned into a titanic battle very quickly.The fight must have been long and intense as
both creatures succumbed to their injuries and were buried after falling.
What could such a fossil be worth? The estimate is a
starting bid of $9 million!
These landowners were sitting on a magnificent treasure for
years. Have you looked around your home or property for a priceless treasure?
If you looked into fossils found near you I bet you would be
amazed…..
