It is said to be one of the richest finds of prehistoric times in the world.

The Philip J. Currie Museum in Wembley, have discovered back, skull, and foot bones of a dinosaur in the area.

Officials believe it’s that of a Pachyrhinosaurus (Packer-rhino-saurus), a four-legged dinosaur that lived in present-day Alberta and Alaska more than 72 million years ago.

The bones were surfaced in a pipestone bed, apparently that wiped out the dinosaurs at the time, by flooding.

Crews also discovered teeth from a tyrannosaur raptor, a rare mammal, as well as a tiny insect locked inside a grain of amber.
