Meet Clarissa Koos, a young paleontologist from California who inspired this story. In 2013, on a dig in Montana, “Clarissasaurus” was found. Learn how this dinosaur was named in honor of Clarissa, who continues to work on the discovery from excavation to the lab work, preparing the fossils for display at the Burke Museum in Seattle.
Clarissa is now a junior in college and still loves fossils and dinosaurs!
