💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🦕🏃 Scientists have identified a new dinosaur species: Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae, a small "mysterious runner" from the Late Jurassic period. This speedy herbivore used its long legs to dart away from danger in the shadows of much larger #dinosaurs.

The #fossils were originally thought to be from Nanosaurus, but detailed study revealed they represent an entirely new species. The discovery highlights how #paleontology has advanced since the 1870s.

This fossil is valued at millions of dollars and brings some dinosaur experts dread.

With the looming ceratosaur sale, paleontologists of both the academic and commercial varieties are expressing concern that another multimillion-dollar auction will distort the fossil marketplace. Driving more speculation, they worry, could further spike the already rising prices of fossil digs and lead to the duping of investors.

Get ready for a fossil-filled summer with the Alberta Palaeontological Society!

August 15 - 17 takes us to Montana’s Grasshopper Glacier and Beartooth Butte. Trek to (hopefully!) find extinct grasshoppers entombed in ice, then hike to an ancient Devonian fish site with breathtaking views and fascinating geology.

"Natural Trap Cave is a pit in northern Wyoming into which countless animals have fallen and met their untimely demise since the Pleistocene. Paleontologists today find the cave a treasure trove — a stunning record of the species that have long roamed the area. The mammalian fossils left behind shed light on the climate, food sources and migration patterns of these species from earlier eras."

A new dinosaur ichnotaxon, Ruopodosaurus clava, has been named by Dr. Victoria Arbour and team. Found near Tumbler Ridge, BC, the tracks likely belong to an unknown ankylosaurid and are identified by having just three toes. This is a rare find that may shed light on the ankylosaurid hiatus in North America.
