Traumador the Tyrannosaur Some might accuse me of being biased. I did hatch and grow up at the Tyrrell. Yet my love of the place goes beyond my childhood memories. Having now travelled around the world and seen many of the other great museums out there, the Tyrrell still stands out. At least for its Palaeontology and fossils… Which I’ll admit is what I usually am looking for in a museum. The Tyrrell is nothing but Palaeontology top to bottom, and is the only major museum in Canada dedicated to just this subject matter. Which considering its location couldn’t have been planned better. Built in the middle of the Alberta Badlands, the Royal Tyrrell doesn’t just showcase one of the richest Dinosaur fields in the world, but is active in its excavation and research. Staffed by a whole team of scientists and support staff the Tyrrell takes total advantage of the amazing geology literally out its backdoor (and elsewhere too mind you). Through these efforts Alberta of 75-65 million years ago is one of the best understood prehistoric ecosystems in the world. The best part for museum visitors is that these fossils are brought back to the museum and cleaned off and studied in plain sight of the public. This in house research guarantees the museum’s displays are up to date and inundated with cutting edge information. Gallery space is one thing the Tyrrell is not short on. With seven halls and over fifty mounted fossils skeletons (plus hundreds of smaller fossils) on display, there is lots to see and learn! Speaking of learning the museum takes this up a notch. Helping connect the science end of the museum with its visitors it offers a number of great educational programs and tours. Lead by knowledgeable education staff these include everything from hikes exploring the fossil rich badlands, creating replica fossils, engaging in a simulated fossil dig, and even a full on summer camp for kids! There really isn’t a museum quite like it when it comes to Dinosaurs or fossils in general. Traumador the Tyrannosaur www.prehistoric-insanity.blogspot.com www.traumador.blogspot.com Traumador the Tyrannosaur is a puppet based character created by Prehistoric Insanity (www.prehistoric-insanity.blogspot.com) in 2003. Originally Traumador was used in live performances with children delivering educational programs about science and palaeontology. However at the conclusion of this venue, his creators sought to save him from “extinction” transferred the character to the World Wide Web (www.traumador.blogspot.com). Now anyone can follow the world’s smallest Tyrannosaur through his various misadventures and learn alongside him about fossils, nature, and science in general!
