Almost Intact Young Therapod Fossil Found in Bavaria Lorna alerted me to this little guy, named Otto, only 72 centimeters in length and around 135 million years old. He’s about the size of a recently hatched T-Rex. He was found in Bavaria 98% in tact, including skin and hair remains. The skeleton was found almost two years ago, but not revealed until the dig was complete in October. The find site and the owner of the land are still a secret.
