A number of recent news stories that may be of interest:
New hadrosaur skeleton (Hypacrosaurus) found in Alberta
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/leduc-dinosaur-marks-alberta-s-2nd-fossil-find-in-a-month-1.2416953
In video below Edmonton TV news announcer mispronounces "Tyrrell" as
"TIE-rell" instead of "TEER-el." I mean, mispronouncing dinosaurs is
understandable--but names of local museums??
