Rare baby dinosaur fossil airlifted from New Mexico desert wilderness

After years of hard work, paleontologists and the national guard excavated the first baby skeleton of the rhinoceros-like Pentaceratops to ever be recovered

This was something that had never been seen before - the full skeletal remains of a baby Pentaceratops, a plant-eating dinosaur with large horns that once roamed what is now North America tens of millions of years ago.

The fossils first caught the attention of paleontologists with the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science during a trek through the badlands of the Bisti Wilderness in north-western New Mexico in 2011.
