Wes Linster was the discoverer of the first intact skeleton of "Bambiraptor" (Bambiraptor feinbergorum), which is suggested to be the most convincing evolutionary link yet between dinosaurs and birds. He made this discovery near Glacier National Park in Montana in the early 1990s, while in his early teens.
