ICYMI - A Teenager Found a T-Rex Just Walking a Riverbed

Alberta is one of the richest fossil regions on the planet, but there is a catch that surprises almost everyone who finds one, tied to a law most Canadians have never heard explained clearly before. Inside one of the country's top dinosaur museums sits a fossil discovered entirely by accident, stained black by minerals in the soil and dated to a point in history that is difficult to even picture. A long weekend camping trip in the dinosaur capital of the world hit pouring rain and near-freezing temperatures almost immediately, and the group had to improvise just to keep the weekend from falling apart.
