Four years ago on a trip to Calgary, Alberta to visit my cousin Barbara-Anne, we grabbed a few more cousins and took a road trip to Drumheller and the Royal Tyrrell Museum. If you love science like I love science, specifically dinosaurs and fossils, you’ve got to check it out sometime.
Loads of dino parts have been found in Alberta. It’s sort of ground zero for Canadian dinosaur finds. They even let you look into the room where they reveal, restore and preserve the fossils. You feel so tiny next to these giant, reassembled creatures.
After visiting the dinos, we headed off to see the hoodoos – natural formations of sand and clay in Alberta’s badlands. They’ve formed over millions of years of erosion. Damn, I love science.
Kind of explains all the oil in Alberta, all those decaying dinosaurs crushed by ice.
