Field research by scientists at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum continued to reap a harvest of fresh new fossil discoveries throughout the past summer. And the southwest are offered up a lot of them.

Discoveries include the skull of a baby Elasmosaur found at Lake Diefenbaker, an Edmontosaurus skull found near Shaunavon, as well as a partial skeleton of a juvenile Bronotothere discovered near Eastend, and Triceratops bones near Grasslands National Park, and teeth from a Gorgosaurus and Ankylosaurs found near Consul.

Emily Bamforth is a Paleontologist with the Royal Saskatchewan Museum based at the T Rex Discovery Center in Eastend. She talks about the significance of these summer discoveries.

"Well, every one of them can tell us something different about Saskatchewan millions of years ago. And, of course, there is always the possibility of finding new species as well."

The fossils found over the past summer will join past discoveries to add to the provincial collection and be the subject of study and research.
