The Hunt For Canada's Great Dinosaur Graveyards
Canada's badlands hold some of the densest concentrations of dinosaur bones ever found, and this episode of the Dino Trails series goes looking for the sites making paleontologists take notice. Researchers and fossil hunters walk the exposed rock layers where erosion keeps peeling back new skeletons, explaining what makes a particular bed count as a true graveyard rather than a scattered find. The film moves between excavation sites and the specimens already pulled from them, using interviews with the people doing the digging to explain why these locations keep producing headline discoveries year after year. Rather than treating dinosaurs as museum objects, it stays close to the ground work: reading rock strata, mapping bone beds, and figuring out what killed and buried so many animals in the same place. The result is a plain, site-by-site account of why Canada has become one of the world's most productive places to dig for dinosaurs.
