Fort McMurray, Alta. Ancient history is coming to the surface here where modern mechanical giants meet the prehistoric kind.
A Syncrude Canada Ltd. oil patch worker at the controls of an enormous shovelling machine unearthed what could prove to be a paleontological treasure. The remains of a rare reptile that prowled Alberta’s prehistoric seas are now being excavated by scientists who hope to learn something about life in the province more than 100 million years ago.
