Troodon Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 One of the finest museums in the world dedicated mostly to dinosaurs located in Drumheller, Alberta. I'll post a few pictures but I'm sure others will add to the library of images. All of these are Campanian in age. Edmontonia rugosidens skull its a nodosaur. Dinosaur Provincial Park Ornithomimus edmontonicus Dinosaur Provincial Park Don Brinkman took me to the back room and showed me a Daspletosaurus Maxilla and Pre-Maxilla just out of prep. The maxilla is stunning.

ZiggieCie Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Great photos Troodon. Your photos and the others from this growing thread, (A trip to the Museum) have great examples of how Museums mark Fossils, and the museums short ID cards kept with the Fossils. Many people ask this question and now have many examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolmt Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Definitely one of the best in the world thanks to Currie , unfortunately it is truly in the middle of nowhere. I have never been but a friend did go and brought me back a guidebook and a tee shirt. He thought the place was amazing and that was like 10 years ago.

That's an understatement it is truly in the middle of nowhere. If your traveling near Calgary it'said doable and we'll worth the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killclaw Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Love this place. It was actually a trip there early this year reignited my interest in dinosaurs, I spent hours happily wandering around, great exhibits and superbly presented. Also has a fantastic location smack in the middle of the Albertia badlands. They didn't let me in the back room though...........maybe I'll name check you next time! Question is, who has the better collection, Royal Tyrrell or Royal Troodon museum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) It is awesome and located in the middle of a great collecting area. You are very fortunate to have Philip as your guest and that is an excellent museum for him to visit.
