  1. Hello everyone new member here, I am planning a trip down to drumheller and I know that the first step in fossil hunting in knowing the geology and which layers to look in, and unfortunately as much as I try to research and learn it I still don’t understand, Id really really reallyyyy appreciate if anyone could help me to learn which layers to look at when fossil hunting in the badlands.
  2. Gorgosaurus sp. (libratus?) partial femur (Lambe, 1914) Tyrannosaurid theropod Family: Tyrannosauridae Subfamily: Albertosaurinae Genus: Gorgosaurus (Lambe, 1914) Labelled as being a partial femur (thigh, upper leg). Late Cretaceous (Campanian), 75.1 – 76.6 Ma Red Deer River Valley, Nr. Drumheller, Alberta, Canada. Unboxing my old collection that has been in storage for years and forgot that I had this (purchased August 1988) – labelled as being a Gorgosaurus sp.partial femur. I am assuming that the groove was for a tendon or blood vessel? It appears that fossilised / mineralised spongiform material is visible in the cross-section at one end – might this be fossilised / mineralised bone marrow or spongy (cancellous) bone? Areas of mineralised bone surface also appears to be present. Research suggests that it is likely from the Dinosaur Park Formation which is especially prolific in dinosaur remains and well exposed in the badlands which flank the Red Deer River.

    Bone chunk from Drumheller

    Hi Fossil friends! you were great identifying my false fossil (it was a bullet <insert embarrassed emoji>) Here is another chunk of bone found in Drumheller. I’m not too worried about what Dino it came from, but it would be awesome if that could be narrowed down. But I’d really like to know what bone/body part it may be. I’m thinking it’s part of a vert, or even a plate? Thank you for any info you may contribute! I’m more comfortable with Ontario Devonian fossils, but always looking to learn more about later Dino fossils as well. IMG_5203.mov
  4. I am in drumheller and visited horseshoe canyon yesterday and found some cool surface fossils but today want to visit a new spot to look for some teeth. Any suggestions as Horsethief is a bit steep and will be done next time. I’ve heard east coulee is good but not sure where? Any suggestions would be great before we head back to Edmonton.
  5. Hello everyone, I'm going to be in Alberta soon and I was hoping to do some fossil hunting. I read on a previous post to this forum that dinosaur fossils can be found in the Horseshoe Valley, but I was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions near Drumheller, or if they could provide any tips for this locale. I'm aware of the laws regarding fossil collection as well, all specimens will be catch and release. I'm just trying to fulfill a dream I've had since watching Jurassic Park 20 years ago haha. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    Found at Horsethief Canyon

    Hello help identifying this would be appreciated! this is my first time posting on here so please be patient I tried to copy photos others have posted. Next time I will use a less reflective ruler!
  7. I found these two fragments at Horse Thief Canyon amongst numerous hadrosaur limb fragments and I am just curious to see if anyone can help identify them. Thanks very much.

    Strange bits of bone

    Last summer, we found these bits of bone, and I have been trying to id them. They were found in the Drumheller area, in the horseshoe canyon formation. The reason I was curious about them is because of how thin they were. They also have some really weird patterns on its surface. Below the surface is jet black. Also, there is a very tiny amount of marrow(that’s what I think it is at least). Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Joy.
  9. My son was looking through the things we found this summer, and we found these pieces of similar colour and texture. There are three of these pieces in total, and they all have these white markings on the side that seems blue. We think this is bone, but we are beginners and don’t have enough experience to say for sure. If I took a wild guess, I’d say they are pieces of tooth? It seems there is a shiny surface which might be enamel on both side of it, and it is kind of dense. These were found in the Drumheller area.
  10. I thought you would be interested in this story I found on MSN: Chainsaw artist turns downed tree into dinosaur bench in Drumheller - https://www.msn.com/en-ca/video/news/chainsaw-artist-turns-downed-tree-into-dinosaur-bench-in-drumheller/vi-AA12cLeL?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=6dd1a134b523451a96ba4ac2210c3309 I am amazed at the talent of some people

    Possible hadrosaur jaw segment?

    Found in horseshoe canyon AB is 1.5 inches long. Any idea if this is hadrosaur and then what type of hadrosaur?
  12. prehistoricpeasant

    Any idea what this is from?

    I can assure you it is fossilized bone it just doesn’t look like it in the pictures because of how dirty parts of it are and the bad camera quality. It’s about 3 pounds 5.5 inches long and 4 inches wide. horseshoe canyon AB
  13. prehistoricpeasant

    Any idea what hadrosaur this is from?

    Identified by a palaeontologist as a hadrosaur vertebra and I would like to get some clarification. It’s 3-4 inches long and 2-2.5 inches wide. Found in Horseshoe Canyon Alberta.
  14. Hello, I am seeking identification on a spscimen I found in Horsethief Canyon (not to be confused with Horseshoe Canyon), just outside of Drumheller, Alberta, Canada. (Dino capital of the world!). I found this specimen above ground while hiking in the coolees of the canyon. It was not nearby anything similar to my knowledge. I took photographs of it under my microscope to assist with identificafion. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. Take care.
  15. 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 thinks about the other information of the trackway and footprint that I gave him. One of the footprints outlined in the photo with pen.
  16. Hi! I'm new here. I found this fossil recently near Drumheller, Alberta Canada. I think it's a vertebrae but I can't seem find example images of anything like it due to its asymmetrical shape. It was found near both other marine (bi-valve) fossils and other bone fragments. Not sure if it comes from a dinosaur or marine reptile. Thanks for your help! Cheers, Matt

    What is this?

    My daughter found this surface fossil and I have no idea what it is. Can you help out? Drumheller. Alberta. Horse Thief Canyon.
  18. Hi I found this with the rest of my fossil replicas and was wondering if it could be a Rex tooth or another type of Tyrannosaur tooth. I don’t know if I can post this here or get an ID on it since it’s a replica but I got it at the Royal Tyrell Museum in Drumheller, Canada it’s a replica of one of there specimens. And I just wanted to know what it could be since it seemed strange to me on how skinny and long it is, Thank you!!

    Tooth marks on Dino bone?

    I found this piece of dinosaur bone last summer while I was surface collecting in the Horseshoe Canyon area near Drumheller, Alberta. It wasn’t until I was home and cleaned the piece that I noticed what looks like tooth marks on the bone. Is it tooth marks on the bone? I know this is stretch but any idea what type of bone this may be (rib, leg, etc.)? Thanks for looking at this. Cherise
