Detailed explanation-1: -In some places, there were earthquakes and volcanoes. Plants and animals were covered over and preserved. They became fossils buried below layers of dry soil and rock. Over millions of years, water and Alberta’s strong winds carried away the soil and rock.
Detailed explanation-2: -A: There are roughly between 60-70 different types of dinosaurs that have been found in Alberta. About 350 good skeletons have come out of Dinosaur Provincial Park over the past 100 years, but there have been many hundreds more incomplete ones, and many thousands of isolated bones.
Detailed explanation-3: -Flowing from the Rocky Mountains, Alberta’s Red Deer River snakes through the Canadian Badlands, one of the world’s great dinosaur fossil regions. Since the late 1800s, more than 1, 000 complete skeletons of extinct dinosaurs have been found here.
Detailed explanation-4: -Alberta was once a dinosaur paradise. A warm-temperate climate meant lush vegetation that was perfect for herbivores, and herds of herbivores meant ample prey for the carnivores. Many bones from these animals were buried, and then fossilized.
Detailed explanation-5: -Time-lapse video of ‘dinosaur mummy’ excavation in Canada Scientists said the find was first discovered during a 2021 scouting mission to Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta – one of the richest places for dinosaur fossils in the world – when a volunteer noticed part of a fossilized skeleton protruding from a hillside.
