Canadian Museum of Nature Has Warehouse Full of Unexamined Dinosaur Bones

Posted on May 23, 2013

The Canadian Museum of Nature has a warehouse full of dinosaur bones that have never been examined. The bones are still contained in the burlap and plaster they were stored in when they were first collected in the field. Some of the bones were collected 100 years ago. There are likely to be some species that have never been identified among them. The museum recently ran a Dino Idol event where the public got to choose which set of dinosaur bones was examined. The ankylosaur was chosen. Take a look:
