Still Waters Posted December 3, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 3, 2021 A stash of rediscovered dinosaur bones wrapped in century-old newspapers is set to reveal two pasts: one set in the 1920s and the University of Alberta's earliest paleontology, the other some 70 million years ago. "It's always a surprise to find these bones that have been sitting in the ground for millions of years, but here we get a second surprise in finding them again," said Clive Coy, a paleontology researcher in the Faculty of Science. Handwriting on the specimens suggests the haul is part of the 1920 and 1921 expeditions in what is now Dinosaur Provincial Park, led by the U of A's first paleontologist, George Sternberg. https://phys.org/news/2021-12-fossils-dug-years-rediscovered-newspaper.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
