According to local scientists, fossils could soon be appearing in dinosaur-rich Alberta now that floodwaters are receding.

A Calgary man stumbled onto a surprising discovery in June, days after the flooding catastrophe, when he found gigantic rib bones sticking out of the banks of the Bow River.

While scientists have identified the bones as belonging to a bison, it’s still considered a significant discovery.

According to The National Post, palaeontologists at the Royal Tyrrell Museum are not expecting it to be the only one this summer.

They said the floodwaters are likely to have unearthed dinosaur bones, ancient tools, or even rock drawings.
