You never know what hidden treasures you might find at your local thrift store

Staff at a Calgary Goodwill were shocked to discover that what they thought was a box of ordinary rocks turned out to contain fossils dating back up to 450 million years ago.

Why on earth would someone give what they thought were rocks to Goodwill? I am very glad they did given they are dinosaur fossils and kudos to the employee that took the time to investigate them.
