The home of the world's largest number of dinosaur fossils ever found, Canada's dinosaur fossil park located in the province of Alberta is likened to a mecca of dinosaurs.

This park is a land with special geomorphological terrain, very barren because it is in the hottest and dry areas

However, hundreds of millions of years ago, it used to be fertile clay with rich flora and the existence of many different dinosaurs.

The skeletons of dead dinosaurs accumulate more and more, covered with soil and mud, to become fossils after tens of millions of years.

In the 20th century, many searches and excavations were held at the dinosaur fossil park in Alberta.In particular, excavation projects carried out from 1979 to 1991 yielded a total of 23,347 fossil specimens of 45 different dinosaurs.

Among them, the most precious is the 150 skeletons that have been fully assembled from the fossils found at the park.Currently 150 such bones are on display in 30 museums around the world.

In addition to dinosaurs, archaeologists also found fossils of many other species such as turtles, fish, amphibians and marsupials .

With a unique landscape and unique archaeological values, the dinosaur fossil park in Canada has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage since 1979.
