Millions of years after the last dinosaur perished, our imaginations wonder at what were some of the largest and most intriguing animals ever to roam the Earth. What we know about these ancient creatures comes largely from paleontologists, who unearth and study the fossilized remains of the vast array of prehistoric vertebrate animals, including mammals, amphibians, fishes and reptiles. Their discoveries and research guide us back in time and illuminate an amazing and diverse ancient world. The University of Alberta Laboratory for Vertebrate Paleontology is an exceptional resource for exploring dinosaurs and other early vertebrate animals. It holds one of the finest collections of its kind in Canada, containing over 41,000 specimens, and is actively used by researchers, students and collectors. Specimens range from 450 million to 10,000 years old, with significant fossils highlighting unique discoveries that address major evolutionary questions. Highlights from this extraordinary collection are available for public discovery, exhibited in the Paleontology Museum. Search the Laboratory for Vertebrate Paleontology |
