And some of the stuff, like one of the most fond memories I have of being on a dig was in Montana way back in 2009.
So the second year I went back to volunteer in Wyoming, we went to a dig in Montana and we were digging up this bone bed of a dinosaur called Myosora, which is nicknamed the good mother lizard.
And it's like a bone bed, lots and lots of dinosaur bones in there, like vertebrae, spines, leg bones.
In the midst of that,
we found part of a jaw that was only about 15 centimeters long.
Right.
And that was of a tyrannosaur.
And that was a thing called Gorgosaurus, which is almost like the immediate ancestor to T-Rex.
And it blew my mind.
Like this was just in the midst of it.
And it's a juvenile one.
And it had all its teeth in the jaw.
And me and the guy I found was Greg.
He and I was like, holy shit.
An incredibly rare find.
Yeah, so that's probably about the same size as T-Rex.
Maybe a tad longer.
There is another one like Spinosaurus was a bit longer than T-Rex.
But I think with T-Rex, it's just... I think the skull, because it's such a massive skull and you have those banana-sized teeth.
And also because of Jurassic Park especially.
