Did you know that Canada is home to some of the richest deposits of dinosaur fossils in the world? Canadians can experience seeing many of them this weekend at Jurassic Quest in Drummondville! Try out our Green Screen Experience for a virtual family "dino ride." Here's more dino tea: The vast majority of the dinosaurs discovered in Canada are from Alberta, where the rising Rocky Mountains at the end of the Cretaceous period and a network of ancient rivers provided the sediment necessary for burying and preserving their remains. The names of many dinosaurs pay homage to provinces, including Albertosaurus sarcophagus, Edmontosaurus regalis and Ornithomimus edmontonicus. Others honor prominent people in Canadian paleontology. For example, Lambeosaurus was named for Lawrence Lambe, a paleontologist active at the turn of the 20th century, Epichirostenotes curriei for Philip Currie, a paleontologist and the founder of the Royal Tyrrell Museum and Borealopelta markmitchelli for Mark Mitchell, an RTM technician who spent 7,000 hours removing rock from the fossil.
