While out digging in the badlands of North Dakota, Jessin Fisher and Tyler Lyson spotted something remarkable- the tooth of a juvenile T. rex. With cameras rolling, Jessin, his brother Liam, cousin Kaiden Madsen, and Tyler uncovered its tibia and lower jaw, the beginning of an exciting discovery in the Hell Creek formation."T.REX", a film by Giant Screen Films, follows the boys’ dinosaur excavation, traces T. rex’s life history, and explains insights gained from new fossils and the new tools used to understand them.
Following the film screening, be a part of the conversation with T.REX film producer Andy Wood, expedition leader Tyler Lyson, and paleontologist and lead adviser for the film Tom Holtz, with special appearances by young dino-hunters Liam and Jessin Fisher and Kaiden Madsen. They’ll chat about the inspiring story behind the discovery, the making of the film, what’s going on at the dig site today, and more.
Stay after to chat with paleontologists, other experts, and stop in the bookstore to grab a copy of the film’s companion graphic novel.
Program begins at 6:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. Please enter at the Constitution Ave side of the museum. Registration is free and encouraged; seats are filled at a first come first served basis.
