Alberta Road Trip
Last week I was back in Alberta for a whirlwind tour of museums and localities (that's why postings have been light recently). I meet up with Don Brinkman (he of the new Centrosaurus brinkmani fame) and Jim McCabe in Drumheller and drove down south to check out a report of a ceratopsian skull found along the Oldman River. It turns out to be in either the upper St. Mary’s River Formation or the Willow Creek Formation – both crop out in the area and Don and I need to consult with Denis Braman who’s been doing palynological work in the area to help nail down its position in section.
