Great day at @discoverfossils field station, looking at the #Cretaceous rocks of southwestern Manitoba. Fantastic setup for their public dig tours, with so much potential for important discoveries!

Together with @CanSVP, we're raising funds to restore the gravestone of Canada's first vertebrate palaeontologist, Lawrence Lambe. We're over half way there, but are now soliciting outside contributions. If you'd like to donate, please see below. Let's get it done by end-October!

Fossil collections from the sands and gravels of Saskatchewan still hold many surprises. Dr. John Storer (RSM Emeritus Curator) just published three new species of rodents based on millimeter-sized teeth found in 33-million-year-old sediments, near Eastend, SK.

Glad to see this out for #FossilFriday! It was a pleasure talking to Catherine Zhu about my journey in paleontology and Canada's fossil heritage. It's an honour to be included as a fellow with @RCGS_SGRC.

DINOSAURS AT THE UBC EARTH SCIENCES BUILDING!
This large carnivore whose name (Daspletosaurus torosus) translates to “frightful lizard” was an ancestor of the iconic T-Rex and similarly was the apex predator of its environment.

One of our main goals for #SADP2024 is to collect horned dinosaurs from lower Belly River Group. This is a partial skull excavated w @funstonpaleo & @RyujiTakasaki from base of Oldman Fm.

The @CurrieMuseum crew had a fun time wrangling a #Pachyrhinosaurus into the back of our truck for the @CityofGP's #CanadaDay2024 #parade... #Dinosaurs are surprisingly unwieldy in the wind. It was like a deleted scene from Jurassic World... :-)

#LivefromtheField We made an unexpected discovery at our Paleocene crocodile quarry in southeast Saskatchewan. Amber!
Amber can be used to study isotopes, plant ecology, and potentially the insect diversity from ~60 million years ago!

#FossilFriday! Last week, we found a #Hesperornis tibiotarsus (lower leg bone) at a site in southern #Manitoba. This flightless toothed diving bird from the #Cretaceous could reach lengths of 2m! #paleoornithology @CurrieMuseum @discoverfossils

It was wonderful to welcome researchers from across Canada and beyond to the Manitoba Museum last weekend for the @CanSVP 2024 Conference! This was the first year that the conference has been hosted in Manitoba.
27 May 2024
Can't think of a better way to have spent #FossilFriday than attending @CanSVP 2024. It was a pleasure to host everyone @ManitobaMuseum, to hear about fascinating new research, and to catch up with many friends.
