Baby dinosaur skeleton found intact in Alberta
An extremely well-preserved baby dinosaur skeleton has been discovered in Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta.
The fossil is extremely rare, as it’s the smallest intact skeleton ever found from a group of horned plant-eating dinosaurs known as ceratopsids — a group that includes the iconic triceratops.
"There's nothing else like it that I know of," said Don Brinkman from the Royal Tyrrell Museum.
It’s believed the creature, measuring 1.5-metres long, was about three years old. They determined it was a Chasmosaurus belli, which was common in the area.
