The Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada became a World Heritage Site in 1979. It is renowned for the diversity and abundance of Cretaceous dinosaur fossils. “Fifty-eight dinosaur species have been discovered at the park and more than 500 specimens have been removed and exhibited in museums around the globe.” (Wikipedia)
The fossils, including complete skeletal remains, have been collected over the years in the Cretaceous sediments that originated in the Canadian Rockies. As the mountains eroded the sediment washed eastward eventually filling the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. The dinosaur remains were buried during this process and exposed when the Red Deer River drainage cut into the sediments.
