A Frobisher man managed to dig up a find that's seeing the sun for the first time in over 66 million years.
Bob Steman was working on a yard project before discovering a fossil of an ammonite from a rock pile he was working with.
He describes some of the work that led to him finding the fossil.
"The town held me up there, promised me some clay to build a ramp into my backyard. So I've been kind of struggling for topsoil to finish my yard up, so I decided I'd put a drainage ditch. My whole yard goes into the drainage ditch and it'll go down the hill and into the bluff and go out the other side."
"So I decided I'd go pick rocks. So I picked 11 half-ton loads of rock and dug my trench down. It's about two feet wide by two feet deep. Dug it right down to the clay and then I filled it with rock. This year when I was cleaning up where I was throwing the rocks, that's when I found the fossil."
Steman describes the fossil as having a bumpy finish on it.
He preceded to have that fossil looked at by the Royal Alberta Museum, which found out just how old that fossil could be.
"When I first sent it to Alberta Museum, he told me it was over 66,000,000 years old. So that's when we decided we would dig further into it and when I talked to the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, he put a timeline of about 75,000,000 years ago."
Steman says while they're leaning towards donating the fossil to a museum they want to make sure people can get a good look at it.
"We're kind of still up in the air, whether I'm going to keep it or donate it. Our main objective is to donate it to the museum. But they won't guarantee they're going to display it. They might use it for research, so that kind of that's where I turned the decision of giving it to them. But I think it's still going to go there because it's just going to sit around here, right, if a guy keeps it."
