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\u2019s 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,\u201d said The Exploration Place\u2019s Assistant Curator Chad Hellenius. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt 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,\u201d Hellenius continued. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The life-size model of the ferrisaurus sustutensis, also known as the Iron Lizard or affectionately as \u201dBuster,\u201d is&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":642043,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[49,48,66],"class_list":["post-642042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-science","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=642042"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642042\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/642043"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=642042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=642042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=642042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
