Too cute! Five-year-old boy discovers dinosaur in Texas

[Surya Gayatri]

A five-year-old boy has uncovered a 100 million-year-old dinosaur fossil while playing with his father.

He discovered the fossil - thought to be that of a Nodosaur - behind a supermarket in Texas last September but it took months to get excavation permits.

Much better video at BBC site:

I've always wanted to find a dinosaur fossil.

2. Was this the kind that Adam and Eve rode?

Just would like to note- even though Texas is controlled by RWRNJs many if not most of us are not.

7. Confession: When I was in elementary school once...

....they served chicken in the cafeteria for lunch. After eating it, I snuck one of the bones away, and then when it was time for recess, I buried it in the sand in the playground and told everyone I had "discovered" a dinosaur bone.

Yeah, I was a goofy kid.
