Hi All,

 

Just joining this forum after coming across several occurrences of it popping up in my Google results over the years. I recently took some friends out Dino Prov. Park, (Alberta) and though we observed some nice small finds, my knowledge of formations, locations, access and ID is lacking so I am really looking forward to pulling from the vast wealth of knowledge evident here.  

 

So a little about me:

MSc in Petroleum Geology from U of Calgary, I focused quite a bit on sequence strat and sedimentology as it pertains to reservoir quality....not so much the paleontology! Coincidentally my father was a petroleum geo here in Alberta for some 35 years. I remember finding all kinds of really cool stuff with him as a kid, unfortunately I was to young and he is know to old to remember where any of this stuff was haha.

 

Additionally the majority of my Cretaceous experience in the WCSB is restricted to Dunvegan deltaic sequences, so I am not much familiar with the Dino Prov, Old man, Bears paw marine and other units typical for fossil hunts. Since then I have been working lateral tight plays across the USA like Bakken, Bone Springs, Nio C...again not much help for Alberta Paleo haha.

 

I look forward to getting to know some of the local members of the community. If anyone ever wants a partner to team up with and go explore, I am off work for break up will go play outside in a SEC!
