Dinosaur Provincial Park

Perfectly Preserved Dinosaur Unearthed in Alberta

A remarkably preserved juvenile hadrosaur fossil, including fossilized skin, was unearthed in Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta. The discovery, a collaborative effort between the University of Reading, the University of New England, and the Royal Tyrrell Museum, is significant due to the rarity of juvenile hadrosaur fossils and the exceptional preservation of soft tissue.

Following excavation and preparation, the fossil will be housed at the Royal Tyrrell Museum.
