Why Canada Holds the Secret to the Dinosaur Graveyards
In short: Discover why the landscapes of Alberta and British Columbia are global hotspots for prehistoric remains. This documentary explores the active field sites where researchers are unearthing some of the world's most complete dinosaur fossils.
The region is characterized by rich prehistoric ecosystems where dinosaur remains are literally eroding out of the hills. Notable finds include a mummified armored dinosaur with its original skin intact and a massive vertical rock face featuring thousands of footprints.
Modern paleontology in these areas combines traditional field work with advanced technology. Researchers use CT scanning and 3D modeling to reconstruct these ancient giants, providing a clearer picture of life millions of years ago.
