The find may help paleontologists understand how the herbivorous dinosaurs, the hadrosaurs, grew and evolved.

At an archaeological dig in Canada, researchers discovered a fossil on a mountainside in the Alberta Provincial Dinosaur Park that may be a rare complete dinosaur skeleton. The Shropshire Star reported.

The scientists noted that the skeleton of the hadrosaur, a large herbivorous duck-billed species, was well preserved, and even the skin.

Although the fossil includes most of the animal’s tail and right leg, it is positioned in a way that suggests the entire skeleton was preserved in the mound. This means the find could help paleontologists understand how hadrosaurs grew and evolved.

“This is a very exciting discovery, and we hope to complete the excavation within the next two field seasons. Judging by the small size of the tail and feet, this is a young dinosaur,” said scientist Brian Pickles.

It may take several months to collect the entire skeleton, and after the fossil is collected, it will be taken to the preparation laboratory of the Royal Tyrrell Museum, where specialists in the study of fossils will work.

It was previously reported that due to the drying up of the Peluxy River in the park Dinosaur Valley in Texas found footprints of dinosaurs.
