Three boys left ‘completely speechless’ after finding T rex bone in North Dakota

Trio hit upon the bone, which was likely entombed about 67m years ago, in July 2022 on a stretch of land around Marmarth

Two young brothers and their cousin say they were completely speechless" when they came across a Tyrannosaurus rex bone poking out of the ground while out for a jaunt in the North Dakota badlands.

In July 2022, Liam and Jessin Fisher, then seven and 10, and cousin Kaiden Madsen, then nine, were hiking across a stretch of property owned by the US bureau of land management around Marmarth, a small town with a population of 101 - but also known as the dinosaur capital of North Dakota for its rich deposits of Triceratops and T rex fossils.
