A unique discovery has been made in northern B.C.
Researchers from the Royal BC Museum uncovered more than 90 dinosaur fossils, all believed to be 66 to 68 million years old.
The team helicoptered into a remote area of the Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Provincial Park, about 500 kilometres from Prince George.
“It’s really hard to get dinosaur bones in B.C. and it’s taken a lot of work to get to this point where we’ve actually brought back like 90 plus bones in this one summer,” Royal BC Museum Paleontologist Victoria Arbour told Global News.
“There’s really not a lot of places in B.C. where we can do that. And this is a pretty new area for finding fossils.”
