Kevin Terris, a high school student from California, found the fossil while on a dig with palaeontologists from a local museum.

The dinosaur was under a year old when it died 75 million years ago. It's the most complete skeleton ever found of Parasaurolophus, a duck-billed dinosaur. Terris and his collaborators have described the skeleton in the journal PeerJ.
