story. That Monday had started like any other at the Millennium Mine, a vast pit some 17 miles north of Fort McMurray, Alberta, operated by energy company Suncor. Hour after hour Funk’s towering excavator gobbled its way down to sands laced with bitumen—the transmogrified remains of marine plants and creatures that lived and died more than 110 million years ago. It was the only ancient life he regularly saw. In 12 years of digging he had stumbled across fossilized wood and the occasional petrified tree stump, but never the remains of an animal—and certainly no dinosaurs. |

I have to say I'm impressed that scientists were right about what they actually looked like. Well, except the ones saying they had feathers.

I've seen a few great samples of fossilized skin in different museums, but none that good. As for the feather comments.... Dino Feathers |

I wonder though how it got to the Bottom of that pit? Maybe some sort of cataclysmic world wide event took place in the not all that distant past that put it there? |
