Dinosaurs haunt the sewers of Edmonton
EDMONTON — A pair of Edmonton municipal workers made the find of their lifetimes last week when they unearthed dinosaur bones believed to be 70 to 72 million years old.
Ryley Paul and Aaron Krywiak were jackhammering their way through a sewer, 30 metres below an Edmonton street, when they unearthed a well-preserved tooth. “I was pretty surprised. I heard from other people working here 30 years that they have never found anything,” said Mr. Krywiak, 21, a member of a City of Edmonton drainage crew. “It was pretty cool. I never thought I would have a dinosaur tooth in my hand.” http://news.nationalpost.com/2010/08...s-of-edmonton/

My guess is the massive cross-city sewer parallel to (and between) 23rd and 34th Street.

The picture shows a small hand dug tunnel, it would be safe to assume it is one of the many minor tunnels (not LRT related), could be the one they are currently digging from 66th street/153 Ave to 167 Ave.

Just like some old TV series, etc., for all those that missed it the first time, old news can be just as good if not better than new news.
