musicnfossils Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Went on a wild fossil hunting trip today out on private land in the Dinosaur Park fm. and found something that I’ve since reported to the Tyrrell. My best guess is a partial hadrosaur tail. The specimen is about 3 feet long by 1.5 feet wide. There was no other associated material nearby but there may be more of this dinosaur under the surface. I’ll also post a few of my favourite surface finds for today. I have a before and after photo of a vert, a large partial rib and some tyrannosaur teeth & a croc tooth. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicnfossils Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Museum got back to me quick, sounds like they won’t excavate it due to the rough shape of the fossil but we might have found something they haven’t seen yet at least. I wonder if this could count as a fossil find of the month entry obviously I am not allowed to collect and prepare it though so that might exclude it from the rules.

As these are the only two photos I have of it but it’s a 4 kilometre hike so if I don’t have to, I’ll submit it as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicnfossils Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Thanks everyone. Yes as stated in the fossil finds of the month thread, I’m unable to excavate nor prepare the specimen due to the laws here in Alberta so it will stay in the ground as is. The museum is entering it into a database of known articulated dinosaur specimens in the area. Luckily the area we were hiking during this trip had many cool surface finds.
