Bones from a Mosa Saur a Marine reptile that was once at the top of the food Chain were discovered this summer during a Public dig organized by the Canadian Fossil discovery Centre in Morden. Whats Cool is that ours Are the first eyeballs that have looked at this in 80 million years said Joseph Hatcher a visiting palaeontologists helping with the dig. Its always a Rush. The new Mosa Saur named Angus will probably be More than ten metres Long he said. Manitoba ass largest Fossil discovery was Bruce in 1974, a 13 metre Mosa Saur. Bruces Skull is almost two metres Long. He could Swallow a horse said Dave Wilkinson the museums executive director. A Field technician led a group up a Steep Hill near Miami to the dig site on aug. 1. The ground had been shaved Down by a Backhoe to get closer to potential fossils. Until August the site Hadnot been explored. Weave actually walked by this site 100 times this season and did not see anything said Hatcher wearing a yellow t shirt with the words Fossil Crew written on the Back. When the tour group began dusting and Chipping away at the Earth a woman found part of the Marine reptiles jaw. Further exploration found the Pelvic Bone Teeth and hip Bone. I could Tell by the size of the Teeth that it was going to be big said Reid Graham an archaeology student working As a Field technician for the summer who led the tour that made the finding. A part of the Mosa saurus Flipper was discovered wednesday while Hatcher and summer students dusted the area with paint brushes and chipped away with picks. I think i found part of the Flipper Graham announced to the Crew wednesday afternoon. The other students crowded around to look at what he found. A team of students and Hatcher were dusting away wednesday at the site to unearth More of the Bones. Some of the Crew dusted the ground on their stomachs while others hunched Over sitting Down. You almost have to be a contortionist or Bend like a Snake Hatcher joked. Whatever is the most comfortable. Early in the excavation process a second Mosa Saur was found in the same spot As Angus. Based on the size of its jaw the second creature is probably around 7.5 metres Long. Once the Crew finds Mosa Saur Bones at the dig site they take notes and map where it was found. They do that to create a death scene to figure out exactly How the creature died said Anita Maria Janzic the museums curator. Maybe there was a fight Between the two mos Saurs or maybe there was a volcanic eruption she said. To take Down a big one like that would be a Tough thing to do. The recent discovery of Mosa Saur fossils offers a much needed boost to the museum. It bought the 40 hectares of land near Miami about 100 Kilometres Southwest of Winnipeg to step up on site research and promote tourist digs. The museum Board purchased the land with this Day in mind Wilkinson said. That paved the Way for unrestricted Access for Likely spots. Angus is still in the Field with Only fragments of the Bones visible. It will take until at least the Spring to excavate both of the fossilized skeletons. The Fossil discovery Centre houses the largest collection of Marine reptile fossils in Canada. Meghan. Hurley free press. My.

Thatus when i came up with the idea of trying to have such a youth Centre where they can go in the evenings rather than beating the Heck out of each other. To me if we had such a Centre maybe there be such problems in our Community.
