| In 1961, an oil company
geologist, Robert Liscomb, found dinosaur bones
near Ocean Point along the Colville River. Unfortunately,
he died soon thereafter and the bones ended up
in a warehouse gathering dust for many years.
The bone bed he discovered was later named for
him. It was not until 1983 that the find came
to the attention of dinosaur experts. About 95%
of the bones from this bed have turned out to
be Edmontosaurus, which was a large (15 meters
long), non-crested duckbill. Largely juvenile
bones (some adult) have been found here. (Age:
Late Campanian or Maastrichtian) |
