10 Scariest Specimens

10 Scariest Specimens

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!

Presents form the Past

Presents from the Past (NEW)

Broadcasting live from the Royal Tyrrell Museum, our experts will unbox real fossil specimens such as bone fragments, teeth, and scales. Students will investigate crocodile armour, turtle shells, shark teeth, and dinosaur bones, to name just a few. Discover how researchers use tools like air scribes and screenwashing techniques to uncover tiny fossils that contain big clues about the ancient world. Explore how these "presents from the past" help us imagine what Earth looked like when dinosaurs roamed—full of strange creatures and wild landscapes. See dates below.

Discovering Dinosaurs

Discovering Dinosaurs

Explore our world-famous Dinosaur Hall! This tour introduces young participants to the study of palaeontology, and the dinosaurs that lived in ancient Alberta. Each stop explores a different curriculum concept, like carnivores and herbivores, predators and prey, or plants and the ancient environment. After the tour, there will be lots of time for questions with our dinosaur experts. See dates below.

Behind the Scenes

Are you ready to go where only the staff are allowed?! See dates below.
