EASC Spring Seminar: Dinosaurs of the Sustut Basin and Peace Region in northern British Columbia

For this week’s SFU Department of Earth Sciences EASC Spring Seminar Series, Dr. Victoria Arbour will speak about “Dinosaurs of the Sustut Basin and Peace Region in northern British Columbia”.

Abstract

Dinosaurs of the Sustut Basin and Peace Region of northern BC: British Columbia has a unique dinosaur fossil record that spans much of the Cretaceous Period, a time of major changes in terrestrial vertebrate ecosystems relating to changing sea level, climate, and vegetation patterns. Much of this fossil record is represented by ichnofossils, but new discoveries are increasing the record of dinosaur skeletal material in the province. This presentation will share recent results of Royal BC Museum-led fieldwork to increase our knowledge of the dinosaur fossil record of BC, and the implications of these new fossils to understanding dinosaur evolution in western North America during the Cretaceous.
