一名康涅狄格州高中生Aidan Connor在蒙大拿的Red Lodge进行夏季挖掘的第一天发现一具1.5亿年前的恐龙化石——一只小手指骨。 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. 这项发现是在Rizzolo-Larson风险投资公司资助并由高空科学研究所牵头的一个方案期间发现的,它凸显了学生领导的古生物学实地工作的价值。 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 Cheshire学院高年级的Connor 仔细提取了大约一个小时的易碎标本 之后又装了更多的化石用于运输 Connor, a Cheshire Academy senior, carefully extracted the fragile specimen over about an hour and later jacketed additional fossils for transport. 该发现仍在研究之中,它有助于了解侏罗纪时代恐龙的多样性。 The find, still under study, contributes to understanding Jurassic-era dinosaur diversity. Connor, 计划研究古生物学或博物馆研究的Connor, 称之为体验“非常令人兴奋”和“成就”, 反映了他对实践科学教育的献身精神。 Connor, who plans to pursue paleontology or museum studies, called the experience "very exciting" and "fulfilling," reflecting his dedication to hands-on science education.
