Join this 45-minute lecture that explores geological discoveries made during 500+ field visits to a dam project near Calgary, Alberta. Examine the terrestrial deposits of the uppermost Cretaceous period, including evidence of a marine incursion, two newly identified regional lowstand events, and a fresh structural interpretation supported by drone imagery. Discover the diverse fossils uncovered at the site—from dinosaurs to invertebrates and a new family of fossil plants. Learn about the significant bed of giant oncoids marking the K/Pg boundary and how classic sedimentological principles inform these findings. See how Alberta's Historical Resources Act operates within the context of a major construction project, demonstrating the integration of geological research with infrastructure development.
