it was 25 years ago TODAY that the royal tyrrell museum first opened!!!
now as my coverage of the dinosaur winter OH-lympics is dreadfully behind, i'm left with a choice. delay my posts about the 25th anni or pause my OH-lympic posts, and bring you the tyrrell stuff "live" (technically a day or two after they go down...). rather than make the hard call myself, i leave this tricky decision with you, my readers...
do i keep on posting vancouver, and touching on drum after that. or take a week off the OH-lympics and bring you the tyrrell's 25th anni? leave your preference in the comment section.
(i will disclaim as i'm leaving for drumheller as i write this, that i have no idea just how interesting or uninteresting the anni will be from a blogging point of view... just so you're forewarned)
to celebrate, i kick off the several weekends of fossils from the tyrrell's new celebration exhibit "alberta unearthed". this new display consists of 25 of the tyrrell's most impressive and cool fossil discoveries covering the entire range of palaeontology the province has to offer. (it is definitely worth a trip to see!)
the first highlighted fossil is this amazing 3 dimensionally preserved albertosaurus, prepared by tyrannosaur chronicles friend darren tanke!

I don't think (though I may be wrong) that the Tyrell will take as long as the Oh-lympics, so I recommend doing the Tyrell first before returning to the Games.
cool fossil!
Albertonykus- well it turns out, as i'd warned (but wasn't sure about) the event while very fun for us former staffers, really wasn't a blog friendly affair.
i saw tons of cool people, many famous in the palaeo circle, but had no time to take photos, and even if i did they'd be blurry as the venue wasn't very photo friendly.
so i'll just bring you guys the fossils of the 25th, and carry on wrapping up the OH-ylmpics...
Dinorider d'Andoandor- totally!
