Meanwhile, further south, in what is now Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada, spring runoff engorges river channels. With the Dino Cam locked-in at 76 million years ago, it captures the frantic scene as a herd of Centrosaurus attempt to cross the swollen waters of a river - a river they may have safely traversed before, under more accommodating conditions. Some individuals won't survive this crossing, and will leave fossil evidence to be recovered by paleontologists some 760 thousand centuries later. Centrosaurs belong to the Ceratopsidae family of dinosaurs, aka the "horned dinosaurs", and at 20 feet long, are slightly smaller cousins to the famous Triceratops.
