Boy, 12, discovers rare dinosaur skeleton (BBC)
A 12-year-old boy made the discovery of his lifetime when he found a dinosaur skeleton dating back 69 million years.
The amateur palaeontologist was out hiking with his father in a fossil-rich part of Alberta, Canada this July, when he saw bones protruding from a rock.
On Thursday, the skeleton's excavation was completed.
The boy, Nathan Hrushkin, says when he first laid eyes on the bones, he was "literally speechless".

Nathan knows that the fossils are protected by law, so when they got home, they went to the website for the Royal Tyrrell Museum, which is located in Alberta and devoted to the study of prehistoric life. The museum told them to take send photos of the discovery and its GPS coordinates, which they did.
