Scientists have discovered what is believed to be the world's largest dinosaur graveyard.
The 568 acre site is strewn with fossils of Centrosaurus, a 76 million-year-old plant-eating dinosaur. It is thought a herd of Centrosaurs were killed by a massive storm that struck what would have been a coastal area at the time.
Scientists have revealed what may be the world's largest dinosaur graveyard. The dinosaurs may have been part of a mass die-off resulting from a monster storm, comparable to today's hurricanes, which struck what was then a coastal area.

I didn't think Canada had a rich dinosaur fossil deposit in the Prairies, but then again, Alberta is sitting on a rich oil deposit.
