Mexico’s Chihuahua desert with a find that could be -

“something hig" —banes from ducked-billed, flesh-eating
and ostrich-like dinosaurs. :

But Gordon Edmund, curator of the museum’s vertebra
paleontology department, said after his return last week
it's too soon to tell the importance of the 7S-million-year-,
old bones. —.

“Atiirst we had the feeling we may be on the verge of a
find of the century,” he said. “But now J feel it may only

_ people were finding dinosaur bones in the desert,

“we've bes running out of places to collect (dinosaurs)
in Canada,” Edmund said, who was accompanied on the
trip by. museum scientist Ctiris McGowen. |

“Anything new to science that we find ‘will be returned
to Mexico,”-he said, noting the trip was made in co-
operation with the Mexican government. ‘‘As well, we'll

be. helping their students and show them some of our

methods.

“It’s not like any kind of dinosaur collecting ve done-
before. It’s like desert pavement. Shale with layers of

brown sandstone, The bones are also the same color and

. hard to see,”’

Edmund, whe found no complete dinosaurs, said some” :
of ‘the. bones ‘were from a hadrosaurs, a ‘duck- billed

dinosaur, that was “pretty big, bigger than similar
Canadian types.” He aslo found bones from flesh-eating
carnosaurs and a toe bone from an ostrich-like dinosaur.
