As a construction worker, I may tell you that unfortunately many times when we discover archaelogical remains we simply toss them out or destroy them because our bosses don't want to waste time and stop the work calling archaeologists, public servers and such. So kudos to these men and their bosses who took the right approach.
I once said it would be really cool finding a viking grave or something while working. My boss said, if that happened he would have the entire site bulldozed. Losing a contract wont pay our salaries.
@@sorrowcat2724 I first learned about it last year... and yeah... a almost perfectly preserved mummified dinosaur is HUGE! This should be in text books in schools teaching kids about dinosaurs.
It is apart of the ankylosaur tree but I'm pretty sure this exact species is borealopelta which is a nodosaurid. Ankylosauria is split between ankylosaurids (I know very confusing) and nodosaurids. Ankylosaurids have clubs on the end of their tails and have rounder osteoderms while nodosaurids (like the one in this video) have spiky osteoderms and have saw like tails. Hope this comment helped!
If you wanted to show more stuff about the different groups of ankylosauria to your grandson you can show him an example of a nodosaurid (edmontonia) and then an example of an ankylosaurid (ankylosaurus) to get a good idea of the key differences!
I think it’s a bs story built. Cause there are only animations no photographs no nothing…. They could have created a dinosaur like that. It’s just art nothing else waiting for someone to get attached like with that dinosaur LONER, VEGETARIAN only roam alone. They just want a maximum bidd
Well they outta because they created more years of backbreaking work labor and sacrifice to put the broken pieces back together that they caused by lifting it incorrectly.
No, the incredible thing is that we now have proof of accuracy regarding all the speculation about what these animals actually looked like. The question on my mind is, "How close did we get it?"
Seems like we have been pretty accurate when it comes to non-feathered dinosaurs. Especially the soft tissue distribution on the skeleton. The feathered dinosaurs probably had multicolored plumage similar to modern day birds.
@Nostalgia for Infinity There still seems to be a lack of specificity regarding speculation and confirmation. But I'm feeling more confirmation in the first half, and a bit more speculation in the second half. But it's all better than nothing, so thanks for that.
i mean, you can literally see this one. I said "hey, an ankylosaurus!" which is the version with the mace on the tail. So i'd say pretty darn accurate.
Got to give kudos for Suncor for even bothering stopping work and call archeologists to retrieve the fossil. For an energy company’s point of view thats a pretty big loss in profits, and profit is generally the only language large companies speak.

Just makes me think of how many fossils must be in Africa and just how badly Africa is being exploited by the mining industry. Thankfully, there's still tons of untouched desert if anyone finds the time to explore it.
The Tyrrell museum is one of the best museums I have ever visited. But I am still kinda mad that they reproduced Zdenek Burian's paleoart to paint some of the walls, but no credit mention of him was found there :(
Kudos to the construction crew and their higher ups, and secondly, this is so freaking cool! I am 42 almost 43, and this news makes me feel like a giddy kid again. Like when I saw the first Jurassic Park a5 14. One is never too old to become a kid again especially when it comes to dinos. Furthermore, it's even more awesome how well preserved it is, not to mention how accurate we were. This is a win all around!
Also much credits for the company Suncore and their workers. Without their actions the fossil would have been lost for science and public. From what I could understand from the video they spend time and resources and took a responsibility that’s noteworthy.
Hope the Royal Tyrell Museum paid Suncore and their employees for their time. Museum scientists got at least five years of funded excavation work, after all. How long did Suncore workers have to stop work and help? How many projects on-site at the mine were delayed or revised based on the fossil discovery? If the museum freeloaded, they are just going to incentivize more companies to destroy finds in the future in order to avoid losing entire projects or buildings.
@@Schlabbeflicker BEST comment to date! I noticed how not a single soul considered the incentive aspect of discovering and extracting these relics of history. If the workers and company received major compensations and the news anchors covered it, imagine how many more discoveries will be turned in for the museum.

@Ahmed N Except they said they could extract melanin from the skin, so the hard skin was actually preserved skin. Real skin after 100,000,000 years? Impossible! Their dating is off by a factor of x100,000. Radioactive dating is off. Even hard skin can't last that long.
@@charlesdavis3923 Yea, it is impossible. Their radioactive dating is clearly off, by x100,000. I mean come on, real skin after 100,000,000, ha ha, no, not even close.
That's amazing, great find. I imagine sometimes how much fossils and other mysteries there are still under the ground under all those big cities built over it. So much must be just out of reach.
I hope they recreate Haast Eagles or Dodos, I mean likeee dude they are really cool and they went extinct less than 1000 years ago. A wooly mammoth would die in a matter of days, because its adaptations are no longer useful.
I'm glad that we have armies of paleontologists, as well as curious fossil hunters out there unearthing these remains of creatures that are long extinct for our scholars to study!
There are also people out there who subscribe to the theory of evolution, which posits that all life forms, including humans and animals, arose through natural processes without the need for a creator. I believe the earth is about 6000 years old. Scientists are humans and not subject to errors.

It's still so insane how humans are able to see into history like this!!! Eternally grateful for all historians who dedicate their lives to uncovering and preserving all forms of history ❤
I’ve been to that museum twice now I think, and it is such a beautiful sight. Every time I get excited and feel like it’s the first time I’ve been there 😁
Wow, this is amazing. It is interesting to hear the narrator say this creature only ate plants and then hear him say they are going to analyze the animals' intestines to see what its last meal was. Wasn't it plants? Lol........... Seriously, great job and wonderful work by everyone invovled.
When I see stuff like this it makes me wonder what marvelous creatures lived on this planet that we will never know about because they they weren't preserved. So much of this planet's natural history is irretrievably gone. We should cherish and fight for the tiny amount we can find.
We should learn from what destroyed them and take measures to avoid the same fate. Also, its all right there in the dirt, rocks, and coal formations. Tar pits, peat bogs, shale, limestone, deserts, permafrost, and ice. Amber. So many possibilities of discovery. Very exciting. Just when you think its all been discovered already, along comes this one of a kind, near perfect specimen. Impossible. Until it wasn't. That crystal cave in Mexico, with gypsum crystals the size of semi trailers and bigger. Stuff like that too. It's all pretty amazing. What else is to come?
@@Ethan_Cubed Uh yeah there are. Keep digging and you'll find them. I've even come across one who said that dinosaur bones are man-made to make Dinosaurs make belief
Next to the lady it looks as if it was alive, more animal like than whatever we have seen on films that approximate its animal biology...simply put, it finally does not look like a fantasy or scifi monster but a real animal.
Amazing the time and respect they have for these incredible finds but also worth tens of millions due to how rare they are specifically in this condition.
Very, very interesting. An amazing find. To even be able (in theory at least) to investigate stomach contents of an actual dinosaur is simply amazing, almost beyond belief. Kudos to Suncor management for being so willing to help iwth the whole process of excavation.
Rock and fossilized remains are two different materials. They can tell when they’re hitting the rock and when they’re hitting the fossil. It takes experts to do this kinda stuff and they know what they’re doing
Man the more I hear and see about good and we’ll preserved fossils it just makes me wonder what it looked like when it was alive and thriving. How surreal and movie like it would be to see one of them things alive again. Crazy
@@rhmdixie4991 We don't know the exact genus but it's a coelurosaur, the same order of dinosaurs which the Tyrannosaurus Rex belongs You can find it easily by searching "Dinosaur tail preserved in amber"
@@rhmdixie4991 @Rhm Dixie The exact species of the tail in amber is still up for debate as far as I know, but it's definitely a type of coelurosaur. Besides that, there are plenty of examples of theropod dinosaur fossils with evidence of feathers. There's even Sinosauropteryx fossils where you can tell that the tail had stripes of dark and light color feathers.
That is what the brushes and precise tools are for. There is a clear difference in fossil and bone, which you need to be educated about in order to perform. Bone is also more porous. This can be tested by licking, which is not necessary. Also, trying to force one's own perspective on fossils is highly frowned upon. This is why palaeontologists have to work as a team. Which doesn't always work out as they do tend to fight over the remains. But the bone wars are a stain on the history of science that nobody wants to repeat. It's obvious to others nowadays when someone has a fake product. Not to the average person.
If a few people who don't have any connection with each other, find different sets of remains, at different times, with different methods, in different locations, BUT they all find the same animal, that's BINGO.
I agree that there are a lot of coverups in Egypt and a lot of other ancient human civilizations, but in this case I think there’s a lot to be said about the fact that dinosaurs lived on earth for like 200 million years where Egypt was just a couple thousand. Dinosaurs had colonized the entire earth in their reign and Egyptians were a local colony. So by sheer number we’re talking possibly trillions of dinosaurs that had a chance of being preserved and really only a small handful of mummified humans from the Egyptian time period in comparison. That being said there’s a lot going on in Egypt that someone doesn’t want us to know. And probably even more that no one alive today is even completely capable of understanding!!
That is very interesting. Did you get them from drilling a well? Are you from Montana? I saw a RUclipsr homesteader from Montana saying he got wood samples from that deep (800 feet) that were in the same preserved condition as the wood in his woodpile. From drilling a water well. 800 feet of mud and clay on top of wood... The implications of that are terrifying. Where did you find the wood samples that deep?
@@kentneumann5209 The Seashells came from a Core Hole on the Coast of Washington in a Sandstone and Clay Formation and the Wood came from Alaska in Sandstone. The story about the Wood was that there was a Volcano that erupted in the area at one time and everything was supposed to have been lifted 6 miles up in the Sky. It’s pretty amazing how Sedimentary Rock can be found in the middle of the Continent like the Sedimentary Basin in Canada. It runs from the Foothills of The Rocky Mountains to Ontario and from Northern Canada into the U.S.
Radiometric dating cannot dream, it only counts the ratio of parent to daughter isotopes, compares that to the rate of decay of the parent isotope, and calculates the age.
@nathenjacobmorales1888 good thing carbon dating isn't the method used to determine the age... Once again your blind ignorance defeats you right from the start

Full admiration for the scientist etching that fossil out of the stone, but now I'm also not sure how much of his artistic interpretation has been imbued in the sculpture.
I should definitely visit the Royal Tyrrell Museum again someday. I live in Calgary and I visited a couple of times from 2010 to 2015 and they didn't have that on display yet at the time.

Dinosaurs were invented by Hollywood
I wonder how many remains are destroyed unknowingly
@fenrar36 exactly. this probably happens to archaeological remains as well... on purpose
A ton.
@@xisotopex I was also thinking the same. Oddly enough
Just makes me think of how many fossils must be in Africa and just how badly Africa is being exploited by the mining industry. Thankfully, there's still tons of untouched desert if anyone finds the time to explore it.
The Tyrrell museum is one of the best museums I have ever visited. But I am still kinda mad that they reproduced Zdenek Burian's paleoart to paint some of the walls, but no credit mention of him was found there :(
That's so amazing. My brother loves dinosaurs. I hope we find more like this!
Kudos to the construction crew and their higher ups, and secondly, this is so freaking cool! I am 42 almost 43, and this news makes me feel like a giddy kid again. Like when I saw the first Jurassic Park a5 14. One is never too old to become a kid again especially when it comes to dinos. Furthermore, it's even more awesome how well preserved it is, not to mention how accurate we were. This is a win all around!

Totally a dragon...glad they recognized and preserved it.
Also much credits for the company Suncore and their workers. Without their actions the fossil would have been lost for science and public. From what I could understand from the video they spend time and resources and took a responsibility that’s noteworthy.
Hope the Royal Tyrell Museum paid Suncore and their employees for their time. Museum scientists got at least five years of funded excavation work, after all. How long did Suncore workers have to stop work and help? How many projects on-site at the mine were delayed or revised based on the fossil discovery? If the museum freeloaded, they are just going to incentivize more companies to destroy finds in the future in order to avoid losing entire projects or buildings.
@@Schlabbeflicker BEST comment to date! I noticed how not a single soul considered the incentive aspect of discovering and extracting these relics of history. If the workers and company received major compensations and the news anchors covered it, imagine how many more discoveries will be turned in for the museum.

@@Schlabbeflicker I don’t know.

Hearing about this could make me curious about a company like Suncore and an incentive to choose them.🙂

This has SKIN preserved? That’s amazing
It's wild that the skin lasted millions of years
Borealopelta really is an incredible find. :)
@Ahmed N If it really was all stone, then there would be nothing but stone, to be found within the bones..
@Ahmed N Except they said they could extract melanin from the skin, so the hard skin was actually preserved skin. Real skin after 100,000,000 years? Impossible! Their dating is off by a factor of x100,000. Radioactive dating is off. Even hard skin can't last that long.
@@charlesdavis3923 Yea, it is impossible. Their radioactive dating is clearly off, by x100,000. I mean come on, real skin after 100,000,000, ha ha, no, not even close.
That's amazing, great find. I imagine sometimes how much fossils and other mysteries there are still under the ground under all those big cities built over it. So much must be just out of reach.
Loved dinosaurs since I was a kid! Hoping they recreate a wooly mammoth in my lifetime 🤷♂️
A mammoth is not a dinosaur.
I refer to it as a nearby! Big, old, and doesn’t exist anymore! 🤷♂️
Wooly mammoth Sabre tooth and a dire wolf
Old Mammoth meat is not tasty. But still, people eat it.
Frozen Mammoth jerkey, anyone?
I hope they recreate Haast Eagles or Dodos, I mean likeee dude they are really cool and they went extinct less than 1000 years ago. A wooly mammoth would die in a matter of days, because its adaptations are no longer useful.
Sean funk definitely found the most preserved dinosaur ever found, well done sean funk 👏🏼
I'm glad that we have armies of paleontologists, as well as curious fossil hunters out there unearthing these remains of creatures that are long extinct for our scholars to study!

Remember, there are people out there that think the earth is 6,000 years old and dinosaurs never existed even with so much proof around
There are also people out there who subscribe to the theory of evolution, which posits that all life forms, including humans and animals, arose through natural processes without the need for a creator. I believe the earth is about 6000 years old. Scientists are humans and not subject to errors.
@@Alex-Trejo would you apply the same logic to yourself? Do you also believe you’re subject to error?
@@PossumSatyr I believe God's word and he not subject to errors
@@Alex-Trejo "In my view, there is no conflict in being a rigorous scientist and a person who believes in a God who takes a personal interest in each one of us. Science’s domain is to explore nature.

It's still so insane how humans are able to see into history like this!!! Eternally grateful for all historians who dedicate their lives to uncovering and preserving all forms of history ❤
incredible i've waited for this moment for the last 50 years
Fascinating.
I hope the museum gave this guy the credit!
Like you get credit for being a pedophile!
wow that is incredible usually you only find mamoths in that kind of condition, what a great find
I’ve been to that museum twice now I think, and it is such a beautiful sight. Every time I get excited and feel like it’s the first time I’ve been there 😁
Borealopelta is such an amazing find. :)
Wow, this is amazing. It is interesting to hear the narrator say this creature only ate plants and then hear him say they are going to analyze the animals' intestines to see what its last meal was. Wasn't it plants? Lol........... Seriously, great job and wonderful work by everyone invovled.

One of the Worlds greatest finds
When I see stuff like this it makes me wonder what marvelous creatures lived on this planet that we will never know about because they they weren't preserved. So much of this planet's natural history is irretrievably gone. We should cherish and fight for the tiny amount we can find.
We should learn from what destroyed them and take measures to avoid the same fate.
Also, its all right there in the dirt, rocks, and coal formations. Tar pits, peat bogs, shale, limestone, deserts, permafrost, and ice. Amber.
So many possibilities of discovery. Very exciting.
Just when you think its all been discovered already, along comes this one of a kind, near perfect specimen.
Impossible. Until it wasn't.
That crystal cave in Mexico, with gypsum crystals the size of semi trailers and bigger. Stuff like that too.
It's all pretty amazing. What else is to come?
Imagine you’re working in your excavator and pull up a whole ass dinosaur geode
Badass! 😎🤘🏻 So cool and pretty dinosaur.
I don’t know about the “100 million years ago” part, but the fossil is quite fascinating!
What is your issue with the dates, just out of curiousity?
@@Silas.S03 We can't just assume that.
yea true its more than that
@@thehowlingjoker skin... skin... ...skin?
@@Ethan_Cubed They've never found skin, only fossil impressions of skin.

no there arent...
@@Ethan_Cubed Uh yeah there are. Keep digging and you'll find them. I've even come across one who said that dinosaur bones are man-made to make Dinosaurs make belief
@@Ethan_Cubedsadly, there are.
I absolutely love this story. What an amazing find! Having said that... "GIP-sum"???
You just reminded me of an ancient man they found in gypsum who was like 9 feet tall. Turns out it was a fake sculpted in modern times.
It’s read by AI. Don’t support this channel.
As an Albertan I've been out to the Royal Tyrell a couple of times to see this, it's incredible
Next to the lady it looks as if it was alive, more animal like than whatever we have seen on films that approximate its animal biology...simply put, it finally does not look like a fantasy or scifi monster but a real animal.
Amazing the time and respect they have for these incredible finds but also worth tens of millions due to how rare they are specifically in this condition.
Very, very interesting. An amazing find. To even be able (in theory at least) to investigate stomach contents of an actual dinosaur is simply amazing, almost beyond belief. Kudos to Suncor management for being so willing to help iwth the whole process of excavation.
What a amazing posting love it. Great.
What an amazing discovery and it also shows how accurate this dinosaur is portrayed in documentaries and movies.
How lucky to have such a great eyed worker and fantastic Company to help with this find.
Spent 5 years carving a dinosaur out of a rock with a dremel xD
Rock and fossilized remains are two different materials. They can tell when they’re hitting the rock and when they’re hitting the fossil. It takes experts to do this kinda stuff and they know what they’re doing
@@PossumSatyr Ok, so? I dont remember asking you a goddamn thing. Dweeby nerd full of useless wisdom, tf out my feed.
Gottem :)
As a paleontologist, I can confirm this video.
Scientists after checking its intestines: "we found the Nokia Brick.. and some unused prehistoric tampons"
Man the more I hear and see about good and we’ll preserved fossils it just makes me wonder what it looked like when it was alive and thriving. How surreal and movie like it would be to see one of them things alive again. Crazy
Imagine if we ever find a theropod in the same condition. We'll finally know if they had feathers or not.
Although highly unlikely that could be a ground breaking discovery and if there's one there might be more!
We found a theropod tail preserved in amber showing feathers
@@phaex2288 oh wow really I didn't hear that that's awesome! What dinosaur was it.
@@rhmdixie4991 We don't know the exact genus but it's a coelurosaur, the same order of dinosaurs which the Tyrannosaurus Rex belongs
You can find it easily by searching "Dinosaur tail preserved in amber"
@@rhmdixie4991 @Rhm Dixie The exact species of the tail in amber is still up for debate as far as I know, but it's definitely a type of coelurosaur. Besides that, there are plenty of examples of theropod dinosaur fossils with evidence of feathers. There's even Sinosauropteryx fossils where you can tell that the tail had stripes of dark and light color feathers.
To me, it looks like they carved a dinosaur statue out of a big rock. Very creative!
😉
thats because it is dinosaur body in rock
My only concern is, if you're chiseling away at a piece of rock with micro tools can't you make the end product any shape you want?
dunno, ask Michaelangelo
No. There is a difference between rock and fossilized bone
That is what the brushes and precise tools are for. There is a clear difference in fossil and bone, which you need to be educated about in order to perform. Bone is also more porous. This can be tested by licking, which is not necessary. Also, trying to force one's own perspective on fossils is highly frowned upon. This is why palaeontologists have to work as a team. Which doesn't always work out as they do tend to fight over the remains. But the bone wars are a stain on the history of science that nobody wants to repeat. It's obvious to others nowadays when someone has a fake product. Not to the average person.
@@JustSomeKittenwithaGun 😅
If a few people who don't have any connection with each other, find different sets of remains, at different times, with different methods, in different locations, BUT they all find the same animal, that's BINGO.
These construction workers are legendary
Dope vid but your pronunciation of gypsum and bitumen were funny. Do you call them gip-sees (gypsy) or egiptian? Egyptian. lol Thanks made my day!
I believe it’s an ai voice
@3:48 funny how the can find melanin on a dinosaur but when it comes to an Egyptian mummy the findings are inconclusive!!
How 'bout that shiggity 😂
I agree that there are a lot of coverups in Egypt and a lot of other ancient human civilizations, but in this case I think there’s a lot to be said about the fact that dinosaurs lived on earth for like 200 million years where Egypt was just a couple thousand. Dinosaurs had colonized the entire earth in their reign and Egyptians were a local colony. So by sheer number we’re talking possibly trillions of dinosaurs that had a chance of being preserved and really only a small handful of mummified humans from the Egyptian time period in comparison. That being said there’s a lot going on in Egypt that someone doesn’t want us to know. And probably even more that no one alive today is even completely capable of understanding!!
That is cool...
Awesome work. Sounds like a great flood thousands of years ago, what the called dragons back then.
You are correct.
Exactly
That opening shot is from the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, very cool!!!
Well preserved
Speaking of Fossils,I have seashells from 400 feet down in a Clay Formation and I had wood samples from 800 feet down.
That is very interesting. Did you get them from drilling a well? Are you from Montana? I saw a RUclipsr homesteader from Montana saying he got wood samples from that deep (800 feet) that were in the same preserved condition as the wood in his woodpile. From drilling a water well.
800 feet of mud and clay on top of wood... The implications of that are terrifying.
Where did you find the wood samples that deep?
@@kentneumann5209 The Seashells came from a Core Hole on the Coast of Washington in a Sandstone and Clay Formation and the Wood came from Alaska in Sandstone. The story about the Wood was that there was a Volcano that erupted in the area at one time and everything was supposed to have been lifted 6 miles up in the Sky. It’s pretty amazing how Sedimentary Rock can be found in the middle of the Continent like the Sedimentary Basin in Canada. It runs from the Foothills of The Rocky Mountains to Ontario and from Northern Canada into the U.S.
100 million years ago??? lol, you’re dreaming hahahaha…….
Radiometric dating cannot dream, it only counts the ratio of parent to daughter isotopes, compares that to the rate of decay of the parent isotope, and calculates the age.
Someone's fragile 😂
Sorry, but god's aren't real 😢😢😢😢😢
