Letter: Canadian dinos

Published 15 June 2005

From Jo Jones

Has New Scientist no idea about the dinosaur discoveries in Canada – the world’s second biggest country after Russia?

The work of palaeontologists at the Royal Tyrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta, is recognised worldwide, and the Alberta Badlands are an amazing repository of dinosaur remains. Yet the map of old and new dinosaur territories shows Canada as totally devoid of dinosaur traces (21 May, p 38). We’ve been blanked out.
