Tyrannosaur at the Tyrrell
dinosaur man posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
I recently learned that the Tyrannosaur femur I discovered in Dinosaur Provincial Park in 2018 (the same day I discovered my Hadrosaur Trackway, actually only 10 minutes apart from each other) is at the Royal Tyrrell Museum. I originally reported it in late 2018 and the Dinosaur Provincial Park team collected it and brought it to the field station, they then gave it to the Tyrrell and it’s been there since. But the thing is I never knew this until recently as I asked Caleb Brown about it when I was asking him about the Hadrosaur Trackway, he said it was collected by another group which turne- 10 replies

Hadrosaur trackway contribution
dinosaur man posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
I have recently been looking at some of my photos from trips and found photos of when I was in Alberta in 2018. I saw a photo of a Hadrosaur footprint from a trackway in Dinosaur Provincial Park that me and my brother found. I also read not to long ago that no big trackways have been found in this area so I decided to give the information and location to the Palaeontologist at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta. I was responded by Dr. Caleb Brown, he told me that I was most likely right and it was probably Hadrosaur. I am currently waiting for him to reply again to see what he thi- 27 replies

Hi I found this and am wondering is this a new species of tyrannosaur I don’t think it’s albertosaurus libratus because it is in a collection with gorgosaurus libratus and albertosaurus sarcophagcus so if it was albertosaurus libratus there would not be any specimens named gorgosaurus libratus there are other specimens then just this tooth too any information? Thanks.

“@Monica Yes, there are just so many fossils here that now only the best material is actually collected. This usually means anything articulated or reasonably complete. Isolated bones like the ones in my pictures are all pretty much ignored, which is sad, as yes they will inevitably just erode away. I think there needs to be a better system personally. It doesn't make sense to just let these great fossils be destroyed by the elements. But if collecting was allowed how could it be regulated to make sure only expendable material was taken? And how would you stop people then selling those bones f

A Walk Through Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada - 22/7/18
Paleoworld-101 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
This report is a bit late, but better late than never! During late July through to mid August 2018 i was on a research trip to study a new Canadian dinosaur footprint site for my Masters degree project. I am based in Australia, and this was the first time i had been to Canada! So of course i had to make the most of it and pay a visit to the world renowned Dinosaur Provincial Park in southern Alberta, arguably the richest site in the world for dinosaur fossils. The park is the best exposure of the Dinosaur Park Formation (which it is now named after), which dates to about 76.5 million years ago- 17 replies

Hi All, looking for ideas again! I came across this piece in the collection that was left to me and I am wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what it might be? Probably found in Cretaceous Alberta in Dinosaur Provincial Park. I was going to guess corporlite, but I really have no idea! All thoughts greatly appreciated!!!

Found this rather interesting diagram in the Currie & Longrich (2009) paper describing Hesperonychus. The diagram shows outlines of several carnivorous theropods from the Dinosaur Provincial Park assemblage, to illustrate the size & morphological range. I thought some people might like to see this @Troodon @Canadawest @Paleoworld-101

The skull you see in the photos was collected in 1916 from what is known today as Dinosaur Provincial Park, AB by famous paleontologist C.H. Sternberg for the NHM London. The remains were described as 'nothing but rubbish' by palaeontologist A.S. Woodward and sat in collections for the best part of a century. It was not until the nineties that a team of scientists, including Andy Farke and NHM dinolab found the remains and realized that they might be of a new species! As with most centrosaurine ceratopsians, the key was in the pattern of ornamentation (spikes and hooks) at the rea
