BC Paleontology Educational Booth at the Cranbrook Rock & Lapidary Club Mineral, Fossil & Gem Show

[BrennanThePaleoDude]

I was invited to set up an educational booth at the Cranbrook Rock & Lapidary Club's Mineral, Fossil & Gem Show in October. It was a huge hit with the local collectors and members of the public. I was able to chat with a diversity of people ranging from families to fanatics and even some familiar faces from social media swung by to say hi.  I am excited for the next event and will definitely be spending more time in Cranbrook. Such a welcoming community of fossil hunters and great number of Cambrian sites. Here are some photos of my table display. I wanted to spice things up and add fossils from around the world for this event as well as feature some of my current work.

More Closeup photos! Lots of people were interested in the Mosasaurs of Morocco and Dinosaurs of Alberta

Thanks for sharing. Just curious. Are these replicas?

Nice setup, and I’m glad the event went well for you. It’s always good to see someone educating people on the subject of paleontology.

 

Way to go!

These guys are casts, one of which is of the famous specimen of sinosauropteryx from China

Another attractive setup... You're more ambitious than I think I would be in that regard (although I never get that much space, so I dunno!)

You don't feel nervous about displaying Burgess fossils? That's an impressive lingulid plate there...

Also what are we looking at in that brown box with the 3 fossils, the arrowhead-shaped thing?

Great display again, Brennan! Really cool educational work you're doing there! Rock on!
