PRINCE GEORGE – A new travelling exhibit is on display at The Exploration Place: Dinosaurs of BC.
“It’s a fantastic exhibit. Of course, the highlight of it is Buster the Dinosaur, a brand new species of dinosaur only known here in B.C. so far, and the only one of its kind so far. So he’s quite fantastic, we have a life size model of him, so you can see it, and then a little miniature one for for kids to take to pet,” said The Exploration Place’s Assistant Curator Chad Hellenius.
“It was a new discovery made through paleontologists down at the Royal BC Museum, but it was based on an older set of bones that were fossilized bones obviously, that were discovered in the 70s by a geologist looking for absolutely different things. Paleontology happens that way by accident, a lot of the time,” Hellenius continued.
