Duckbilled Dino Discovery on the Morning Show

dino-1

It's not everyday you help uncover a dinosaur fossil. But today was anything but ordinary.  Dr. Francois Therrien called me up from the little leagues to help uncover the jaw of a plant eating reptile. Listen in just after I get the call and a LIVE cut-in from the find.
Roxanne Clark is a favourite on the Morning Show. She stopped by to talk about the new dinosaur in town and the Chamber Golf tournament.
