During the day, Calgary biologist Teri Kaskie is focused on making sure that projects around Calgary keep the environment front of mind.

But every once in a while, that focus turns to something a bit more prehistoric.

Last summer, she was able to dig into the past by volunteering with the University of Reading as they searched Dinosaur Provincial Park for fossils.

The dig ended up being a huge success with the team finding a fossil likely preserved shortly after it died.

The hadrosaur fossil was that of a juvenile and has large portions of preserved skin.

As Michael King reports, experts say these sorts of discoveries can help us better understand the animals that lived in the province millions of years ago.
