Researchers in northern Alberta have made another mass fossil discovery west of Grande Prairie.
Palaeontologists with the Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum in Wembley uncovered back, skull and foot bones from a Pachyrhinosaurus, a four-legged dinosaur that lived in present-day Alberta and Alaska more than 72 million years ago.
“The fact that we’re finding animals of all ages in this one bonebed gives us an unprecedented ability to study these dinosaurs’ growth from hatchling to adult,” said the museum’s curator, Emily Bamforth. “The fossil plant material and amber allows us an opportunity to study the paleoenvironment at this one snapshot of geologic time,” said Bamforth.The site was discovered by a high school teacher in 1974, spans the size of several football fields and is now considered by researchers to be among the world’s densest sites in the world for fossils.
Crews cleared mud from this fossil in the Pipestone bonebed in late June of 2022 west of Grande Prairie, Alta.
