It took five years of painstaking work on a remote B.C. hillside near the Alberta border, but last week, paleontologist Richard McCrea and his team finally unearthed the most complete dinosaur skeleton ever found in B.C.
Seems to me it would take quite some dedication to be an in-the-field paleontologist. Tons of grubby work over a long period of time to unearth fossilized bones, never knowing if the find could be significant, if it will ever be displayed, etc.
Cool find.
