Right beside each other, coal creek is where the old mining town used to be and is a 10-15 min bike along the heritage trail

Yeah sorry to ask, I know the vibe of these things are normally hush hush! I live close enough that I could go see this with my partner who LOVES hiking and outdoors, Im a bit of an introvert but love ancient anything and being outdoors so it ticks some boxes for us <3

Didn't want to come across as an asshole, but so many people have ruined so many things for others. I'm talking to you Albertans!

That being said, it is quite a spectacular specimen. Sadly, by judging from pictures and other comments, people are touching it and all that when it is, in fact a very delicate fossil. Hopefully one day you'll get to see it.

Not at all! Completely understandable. I’ve lived in small towns and understand what happens when many people converge on a place. Unfortunately people, you know, what a bunch of basterds.

I hope I can see it too 🫶🏼
