Reply to comment by satinsateensaltine in Near-whole ankylosaur remains found, complete with its jagged spikes, most of its limbs, armor coating, and some of its guts and stomach contents. The remains could be a key to understanding aspects of Early Cretaceous ecology, and shows how this species may have lived within its environment. by drewiepoodle

I highly recommend the nearby Dinosaur Provincial Park, do the walking tour. I learned that you can lick your finger and press, it will be a bit sticky when you peel it off if it is a fossil and not if it is just a rock. There are fossils everywhere and you actually get to try for yourself.

Geologists and archaeologists will sometimes touch things to their tongue to determine if stone or bone, porous or non porous etc. Not saying I would but it's pretty cool that it does work!
