December
This holiday season, the Royal Tyrrell Museum’s distance learning team has one wish: to uncover what Alberta looked like during the Late Cretaceous. Museum colleagues have shared ‘gifts’ from their areas of expertise. Each contains a fossil that tells part of the story. We’ll unwrap crocodile armour, turtle shells, dinosaur bones, and more! Join us as we piece together a prehistoric landscape, and discover how these “presents from the past” help us understand Alberta’s ancient ecosystems.
October
Prepare to be frightened as the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology presents the Top 10 Scariest Specimens in our Collection! Along with some new contenders, you will see a crocodile skull the size of a Smart Car, the largest dinosaur claw ever found, and a creature with a set of teeth bigger than T. rex ! The program concludes with a Q&A session with a Museum expert. With the fossils we share, you'll be in for a scare!
February
Join us as we go live from the Museum’s Preparation Lab! Follow the journey of a fossil and see what happens when specimens arrive from the field.

Are you ready to go where only the staff are allowed?
March
From little feet to towering titans, we'll explore the mysterious history of dinosaur eggs and babies. Learn about egg-citing discoveries, how different dinosaurs protected their babies, and what fossils can tell us about parental care. The program concludes with a Q&A session with a Museum expert. See what's cracking at the Royal Tyrrell Museum! See dates below.
