Palaeo How-To: What is Palaeontology?
By Lindsay Kastroll, Master’s student in Biological Sciences, University of Alberta Demystifying the way the science actually works… Much of the work that museums do boils down to educating the public, and they are often quite good at it. You probably wouldn’t be reading this blog if that wasn’t the case! Science communication is an important part of what museumsDiscover MoreDungeons and Dragons and Dinosaurs: How Do Prehistoric Creatures Fit Into Tabletop Roleplaying Games?
By Lindsay Kastroll, Master’s student in Biological Sciences, University of Alberta When you think about the hit table-top roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons, you typically think about elves, wizards, magical quests, and of course, dragons. Dinosaurs don’t really factor into that equation. However, you may be surprised to learn that prehistoric creatures have had a long history in Dungeons & Dragons, going backDiscover MoreA Little Late Cretaceous Monster from the Banks of the Wapiti
Huge dinosaurs like Pachyrhinosaurus and Edmontosaurus roamed the Grande Prairie area about 70 million years ago, but such heavyweights never had the Cretaceous world to themselves. There were plenty of smaller dinosaurs around, like the little carnivore Boreonykus, and dinosaurs were only one component of a diverse ecosystem that also included fish, turtles, mammals and many other vertebrates, alongside plants and invertebrates. However, small vertebratesDiscover MoreThis fossil reveals how dinosaurs peed, pooped and had sex

(R)Evolution! ‘Chickenosaurus’ and the Science of ‘Evo-Devo’ Occasionally in nature, animals are born with mutations that cause them to exhibit ancestral traits. For example, snakes can be born with legs, whales with tiny hindlimbs, horses with toes, and even humans with tails. These traits, which occur in both plants and animals, are called ‘atavisms’ or ‘evolutionary throwbacks’. Some animals alsoDiscover More
