A Connecticut teen found a 150-million-year-old dinosaur finger bone in Montana during a summer fossil dig.
A Connecticut high school senior, Aidan Connor, found a 150-million-year-old dinosaur fossil—a small finger bone—on the first day of a summer excavation in Red Lodge, Montana.
The discovery, made during a program funded by the Rizzolo-Larson Venture Grant and led by the Elevation Science Institute, highlights the value of student-led fieldwork in paleontology.
Connor, a Cheshire Academy senior, carefully extracted the fragile specimen over about an hour and later jacketed additional fossils for transport.
The find, still under study, contributes to understanding Jurassic-era dinosaur diversity.
Connor, who plans to pursue paleontology or museum studies, called the experience "very exciting" and "fulfilling," reflecting his dedication to hands-on science education.
