Default Dino-t know that was there!
Pipeliners find a 30m long Dinosaur Fossil in Spirit River, Alberta.

EDIT: most likely 3m based on the picture but will keep the 30m in place for wow factor

Think how many cool finds are being left undiscovered with the delay(s) in Keystone and Gateway.

Tourmaline can't be too happy this is going to hold up their work.

This is an awesome find.

According to a comment on the article there is a typo, it should be 3m not 30m?

That would make sense, given the picture. I, like most media outlets, saw the 30m and did not fact check and went back and added it my post so it would sound more cool.

No, I think it really is 30m. I can't wait to find out what it is from.

Let's just say it's 300 meters and an Alien species not a dinosaur.
