Teen Finds 85-Million-Year-Old Sea Monster

A twelve-year-old fossil hunter named Corbin Bullard made headlines by uncovering an 85-million-year-old tylosaurus fossil—over 15 feet long—in Kansas during a 4-H Geology Club field trip. What started as a chance discovery became a months-long excavation effort, with Corbin and his team painstakingly piecing together the massive marine predator’s skull and body. Though the tail remains missing, the fossil’s dramatic pose—skull twisted back onto its spine—adds to its intrigue. Now, Corbin, who dreams of becoming a paleontologist, will showcase the skull at the Sedgwick County Fair this July. His story highlights the power of youth-led science, community programs like 4-H, and the thrill of discovery that turns kids into future researchers.
