Tyrell Dinosaur Museum

This post is overdue actually. Anyway, it happened on 10 September 2005 when me, Poh & Calvin (all M'sians working for Talisman) went to a place called Drumheller, about 150km from downtown Calgary. We were heading to the Tyrell Dinosaur Museum.

Poh rented a Toyota Echo to drive us around. Thanks for the kind gesture, Poh. Along the way, the scenery was filled with vast expanse of prairie fields for cattle to feed on the grass. Very nice.


Toyota Echo does the job. In the rear, you can see the rolls of hay which are prepared for the coming winter.

The Tyrell Dinosaur Museum was something. The museum offers a different perspective from other museums like the London Museum and the Petrosains, Malaysia. The dinosaurs depicted here are their actual fossil/bones, whereas the other museums would offer 'skinned' and 'fleshed' dinosaurs. Some are just replicas while the ones in Tyrell are actual ones dug from the badlands.


The preparation room - since it was a Sunday, there was no one working in them. It would be cool to be able to see them at work.


My favourite dinosaur - Stagisaurus.


Most feared - Tyrannasaurus.


Me at the Badlands. This area saw many fossils uncovered.
