NAT070 - (CRIME-Stolen-Fossil)
LETHBRIDGE, Alberta. x--14s. A mining company in southern Alberta is offering a reward after an expensive fossil was stolen in broad dayligh. The heist occurred yesterday, soon after miners at a site near Lethbridge recovered a rare piece of ammonite -- a fossil from a coiled shellfish that lived around the time of the dinosaurs. Two men appeared and one of them stuffed the treasure into his backpack and scrambled out to a waiting pickup truck. Miners gave chase but stopped when they were threatened with a pickaxe. Enchanted Designs mine manager Michael Shideler says the fossil is potentially worth a lot of money.
