LAST WEEK WE TOLD ABOUT
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS FROM
MISSOURI THAT DISCOVERED A
TRICERATOPS SKULL IN SOUTH
DAKOTA. HOWEVER, THAT'S NOT THE
ONLY DINO THAT WAS DISCOVERED
HERE
IN THIS WEEK'S FLASHBACK FRIDAY,
WE TAKE YOU BACK TO 1993, WITH
KELOLAND'S PERRY GROTEN AND SHOW
YOU THE THIRD DINOSAUR DISCOVERY
IN SOUTH DAKOTA
FIRST CAME SUE IN 1990, STAN
FOLLOWED TWO YEARS LATER, NOW
DUFFY IS THE NEWEST MEMBER OF
SOUTH DAKOTA'S GROWING T-REX
CLUB. THIS YEAR'S HEAVY RAINS
BROUGHT DUFFY'S 65 MILLION YEAR
OLD BONES TO THE SURFACE, IN
WHAT SHOULD BE A VERY IMPORTANT
SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.
"DUFFY WAS FOUND WITHIN 20
METERS OF THE CRETACEOUS
TERTIARY BOUNDARY, WHICH IS THAT
POINT IN TIME WHERE DINOSAURS
BECAME EXTINCT. THAT MAKES DUFFY
ONE OF THE LAST SURVIVING
DINOSAURS."
DUFFY IN NAMED AFTER PATRICK
DUFFY, THE LAWYER DEFENDING THE
BLACK HILLS INSTITUTE IN THE SUE
CUSTODY CASE. THE GOVERNMENT
ALLEGES THAT THE INSTITUTE
ILLEGALLY TOOK SUE'S BONES OFF
OF FEDERAL LAND. LARSON SAYS
DUFFY IS LOCATED ON PRIVATE
LAND, BUT STILL EXPECTS THE FBI
TO CHECK INTO DUFFY.
"ONE NEVER KNOWS WHAT THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO
DO. OF COURSE, DUFFY WAS FOUND
ON PRIVATE LAND, FEE LAND. WE
ANTICIPATE NO PROBLEMS BUT I
GUESS WELL JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR
THE FBI INVESTIGATION TO
PROCEED."
BARRING NO LEGAL TIE-UPS THE
INSTITUTE PLANS ON DISPLAYING
DUFFY AT ITS MUSEUM, SHOWING OFF
SOUTH DAKOTA'S THREE-REX. IN
HILL CITY, PERRY GROTEN,
