B.C. paleontologists seek clues in rare dinosaur tracks
From the page: "Paleontologists in northern B.C. are poring over rare evidence that the largest dinosaur that ever lived once roamed the province.
In August 2008, a group of coal miners discovered ancient sauropod tracks at a mine near Sparwood, B.C., in the province's southeastern tip near the Alberta border.
Sauropods are a group of giant, plant-eating reptiles that roamed the Earth approximately 150 million years ago in the late Jurassic period.
Until the summer of 2008, there had been very little evidence of the giant dinosaurs in B.C., and paleontologist Rich McCrea said that's what makes the discovery of a path of sauropod tracks so rare and valuable."
