Palaeontology
New Species of Turtle
The turtle is about 66 million years old and was found near Grasslands National Park in 2016, next to bones of a Triceratops. The species has a special name Leiochelys tokaryki, or "Tokaryk's smooth turtle" in recognition of long-time RSM palaeontologist Tim Tokaryk's work in the Cretaceous of Saskatchewan.
