Steven Tucker was trying to make way for Rick Hunter who was in the Rising Star cave.  He stumbled across a crack that he only heard about and made his way through the narrow crevice.  After nearly twelve metres and an eighteen centimetre wide tunnel, they walked into a chamber and found bones scattered on the floor.  They went back a week later, took pictures and sent it to a geologist, Pedro Boshoff who then notified paleontologist, Lee Berger about the discovery.
