"Borealopelta, discovered accidentally by Canadian miners, is one of the most spectacular fossil finds of all time... It’s an animal so well preserved that its skeleton can’t be seen for the skin and soft tissues that still cover it.” An incredible discovery, especially since it’s 110 million years old!

After it was delivered to the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Alberta, it took “7,000 hours over 5.5 years” to assemble. Astounding.
