Editor's Take

A three-hour excavation film set on the Bay of Fundy, where some of the oldest known dinosaur fossils are being pulled from the rock. The length lets it show the real pace of palaeontology, the searching, the interpreting, rather than just the highlight finds.

On the shores of Canada's Bay of Fundy, palaeontologists uncover some of the world's oldest dinosaur fossils, and this three-hour documentary follows the science of the dig. It shows how researchers find, extract and interpret ancient bones, piecing together life from the dawn of the dinosaur age. The long running time gives room to appreciate the patience and detective work that palaeontology demands. For fans of natural history, it is a rich and detailed journey into deep time.
