On August 16, 1991, High School teacher Robert Gebhardt of Eastend, Saskatchewan, along with Royal Saskatchewan Museum palaeontologists went on a fossil prospecting hike along the Frenchman River Valley in southwest Saskatchewan. Mr. Gebhardt wanted to learn more about fossils and how to find them. On that day, he made a very important fossil discovery, the very first fossil that led to the discovery of Scotty the T. rex. We will be marking Scotty's unearthed day with cupcakes and dinosaur cookies while supplies last, along with a Scotty scavenger hunt. Every completed scavenger hunt gets a small prize and will be entered for a chance to win a dino-themed gift basket. PLUS:
Summer is very busy at the museum. This is an opportunity for families who would benefit from a calmer environment to learn more about the owls of Saskatchewan! Participation will be limited to 75 people in the museum. Scotty the T.rex will remain silent for the evening, as will the exhibit alarms. Pre-registration required.

Restoring our Rich Fossil History - One Bone Fragment at a Time
Simply put, Saskatchewan has an amazing fossil record! It is an interesting story, and one of the individuals who gets to help tell it is Wes Long, Collections Manager in Paleontology with the Royal Saskatchewan Museum. “I have been interested in paleontology for as long as I can remember,” Wes explained. “When the opportunity came up to go on a field trip to the Killdeer Badlands back in 1993, I jumped on it. Shortly after, I became a volunteer, which eventually led to a full-time position with the RSM.”
