Armoured dinosaurs with clubbed tails once roamed in what is now northeastern British Columbia, a new study suggests, leaving three-toed footprints across the landscape when the Rocky Mountains were still in their infancy.
The study published this month in the peer-reviewed Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology analyzed fossilized footprints dating back about 100 million years in the Tumbler Ridge area, northeast of Prince George, as well as northwestern Alberta.
