Dinosaur Provincial Park<\/h3>\n

A great place to camp, dry, warm interesting walks but not great cell coverage for school.
\nThe information centre and tour of the dinosaur bone bed was very interesting to be able to see clusters of dinosaur bones lying everywhere around the bonebed was something we thought was worth seeing.
\nSome of the facts that I can remember
\nThe park is well known for being one of the richest dinosaur fossil places in the world. Fifty-eight dinosaur species have been discovered at the park and more than 500 specimens have been removed and exhibited in museums around the world<\/p>\n

The site is important because it confirms that Centrosaurus was a herding dinosaur, and that the herds were larger than previously thought maybe even into the thousands.
\nThe age of the bonebed has been assessed at 76 million years,
\nThere is evidence that these and other dinosaurs were routinely wiped out by catastrophic tropical storms that flooded this lowland, with no high ground to escape to, most of the members of the herd drowned in the rising coastal waters.
\nCarcasses were deposited in clumps across kilometres of landscape as floodwaters receded, they were then scavenged and trampled, causing the bones to be smashed and separated which is why not many full skeletons are found in the bone beds.<\/p>\n
