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! Photo: Hazel Wolfe 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. Use your eagle-eyes! Find and circle the fossils below buried in the layers of rock and sediment at right. 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. 5 7 3 1 5 7 9 7 3 9 7 5 1 3 3 7 4 5 8 4 2 5 4 8 2 7 2 8 4 7 1 6 7 2 9 8 9 2 3 6 5 4 5 6 1 7 2 1 4 7 6 7 4 7 2 3 8 9 2 7 9 8 7 2 6 4 1 8 4 8 7 4 2 8 1 Find the words in the puzzle.
