The Rock's viral moment led to the resurgence in the hunt for Stan, according to a dinosaur expert
Amateur paleontologist Stan Sacrison in 1987 first discovered the T-Rex in South Dakota and it wasn’t 1992 when the Black Hills Institute started to excavate the dinosaur. It took about 30,000 hours for the fossil to be completely excavated and it was at the Black Hills museum for years until a legal dispute between two of the company’s largest shareholders resulted in a judge ordering the fossil’s sale in 2018.
