Re: ornithomimosaur

It's Ornithomimus edmontonensis from the Dinosaur Park Formation. It was 
collected by Philip Currie, Clive Coy, Evan Fritz, Don Henderson, Ken 
Kucher, and Stewart Wright after being discovered by Jean Thompson and Kevin 
Aulenback on the morning of July 12, 1995.

The story goes...

While working with Dennis Braman at a fossil plant site, Kevin was 
jackhammering his way through overburden when Jean suddenly saw bone 
fragments flying. It was this skeleton. Kevin's jackhammer went right 
through the shoulder, though luckily just missing the skull.

This story was told to me by Dr. Currie, but I refreshed my memory by 
flipping through an excellent children's book put out by the Royal Tyrrell 
Museum which deals with this fossil exclusively -- Ornithomimus: Pursuing 
the Bird-Mimic Dinosaur by Monique Keiran (from the Discoveries in 
Palaeontology series) published in 1999.
