What Makes Canada Cool?
At Drumheller you can see the world's largest collection of complete dinosaur skeletons
Dinosaurs of Drumheller Alberta
 Drumheller, Alberta - Not hard to know when you’ve reached the right town – just look for an 82-foot fiberglass T-Rex on the main street. Paleontologists from around the world gravitate to this region (from Drumheller, 140 kilometers northeast of Calgary, down the Red River Valley to Dinosaur Provincial Park) because it's one of the greatest dinosaur graveyards in the world. 70 million years ago this land was tropical, on the edge of a great sea. As the dinosaurs of the cretaceous period died out, some became buried mud and sediment and fossilized. When the glaciers of the ice age receded 13,000 years ago, the scraping and gouging of the land began to expose the fossils. Six kilometers north of Drumheller is the Royal Tyrrell Museum, a resarch facility with 120,000 specimens, with more than 35 complete skeletons on exhibit. (Historica video).
