TL;DR Summary

A tooth from a juvenile Tyrannosaurus has been identified as the first confirmed dinosaur fossil found in Yellowstone National Park. The tooth was originally discovered over 50 years ago but was misidentified and overlooked until recently. The fossil was found in the Harebell Formation, which is approximately 68 million years old. Paleontologists believe that there are more dinosaur fossils to be found in Yellowstone, and this discovery marks the first step in bringing dinosaurs back to the iconic national park.
