Dinosaur park my beloved. Excited to be back there in 2 weeks 🥰 For such a rich formation, big beautiful mural-style pieces like this one are not as common as I would like!

Result from the Dinosaur Park Formation #paleostream! This formation was on the wheel from the start and I anticipated and dreaded it at the same time. As one of the most famous dinosaur bearing formations this piece offered several challenges.

#FossilFriday Check out this ankylosaurid osteoderm from Dinosaur Park! While these bones are famous for forming the thick armour of these animals, some osteoderms were really thin! This one is incredibly concave on the underside and less than a centimetre thick in most places
