Great day at @discoverfossils field station, looking at the #Cretaceous rocks of southwestern Manitoba. Fantastic setup for their public dig tours, with so much potential for important discoveries! #ManitobaFossils

#FossilFriday! Last week, we found a #Hesperornis tibiotarsus (lower leg bone) at a site in southern #Manitoba. This flightless toothed diving bird from the #Cretaceous could reach lengths of 2m! #paleoornithology @CurrieMuseum @discoverfossils

Had an awesome time at #CSVP2024, hosted in #Winnipeg! Especially enjoyed the field trip to the #Morden area - home as 'Bruce' the giant #mosasaur & the CFDC (@discoverfossils). My student even found a #Hesperornis (toothed diving #bird) leg bone! @CanSVP @CurrieMuseum

Sure the Great Lakes are great, and big, but they are babies compared to Lake Agassiz. During its greatest size, it stretched from Saskatchewan to Ontario and altered the landscape of the Canada we know and love today. Join me on this thread about that amazing lake! 🧵1/7

Moments can look as big as a sunset painted over a prairie field, or as small as the pattern of a butterfly's wings. Moments can also be the sound of a crowd cheering on their hometown sports team! Here are 10 things to do this week in Manitoba! #exploremb manito.ba/3KAAe1H

#prehistoricthursdayfacts Meet Dave! A very, very old shark from the Creataceous Period. He’s part of a new exhibit at the Canadian Fossil Discovery Centre (CFDC) and he might be a filter-feeder shark. 📸: @discoverfossils #prehistoricsharks #sharkfacts #sharkeducation
