Royal Tyrrell Museum

The Royal Tyrrel Museum, a paleontological history museum, is located east of Calgary in the town of Drumheller and is definitely worth a visit. It has a huge array of dinosaur fossils on display and is very informative and well designed.

This particular creature is a Champosaurus that inhabitated a stream in southern Alberta at the end of the Cretaceous. That long nose filled with teeth was good for catching fish.
