Pachyrhinosaurus- A Tale of Two Species

Tuesday, May 10, 2011

Imagine, much to your surprise, thinking you have found one thing and it turns out to be a different thing. On this recent paleontological expedition, in far northwest Alberta, Canada, that exact scenario actually happened. Bill Desmarais participated in this dinosaur dig on a steep bluff overlooking the Wapiti River in Alberta. The dig expected to find the remains of a recently identified horned dinosaur. However, after lab work on the fossil remains at the University of Alberta at Edmonton, a new species may have been found. Follow this adventure and meet the un-horned dinosaur Pachyrhinosaurus. There will be an interactive part to the program where you will be able to apply you paleontological skills as well as touch an as yet-to-be-named new species of dinosaur. Appropriate for all ages. Cost is $2.50/adult, $1/child 16 and under, or $5/family.
