What is the T-Rex called?
This much smaller T-Rex is called Suskityrannus.
Suski comes from the Zuni Native American
word for “coyote” and the Latin word “tyrannus”
which means king. Combined, the name would
be “Coyote King.” Do you think this is a good
name?

Where was this fossil found?
The fossil for the Suskityrannus was found
by Sterling Nesbitt when he was just 16
years old! He was on a
school dig trip in the
Zuni Basin of western
New Mexico.
That was 20 years ago.
At first, scientists thought
the fossil Nesbitt discovered
was a velociraptor. New
research has determined
that is actually a cousin of
the T-Rex—which is the news!

Are you an eagle-eyed paleontologist?
When paleontologists go on a dig to find fossilized dinosaur bones, they
have to be very observant. What looks like a small stick, might actually be
a dinosaur bone! As they dig, they don’t want to dig too fast or they might
break a buried bone. It takes being an eagle-eyed paleontologist to do it
right.

I am:
❑ taller ❑ shorter than the Suskityrannus.
The Suskityrannus weighed between 45 to 90 pounds.
This is way less than the T-Rex which weighed around 9 tons!

BLAST FROM THE PAST: Paleontologists in Nebraska discovered
the remains of mammals that were more than 11 million years
old. These animals had died at a watering hole following a
massive volcanic eruption in what is now the state of Idaho.
Color each odd-numbered square red and each even-numbered
square yellow to find out how many miles from the volcano the
Nebraska fossil site is located.
