Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: "Royal Tyrrell Museum Speaker Series - Dr. Tommy Leung". After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.
What the fossil record tells us about parasites, and what parasites can tell us about fossil animals Parasites are a ubiquitous part of any ecosystem on this planet, yet they are rarely fossilised due to their soft bodies and mostly small sizes. However, over the last few decades, advances in preparation techniques and imaging technology has allowed more fossils of parasites to be discovered and described. These fossils have provided us with some tantalising glimpses at an aspect of prehistoric life which is largely overlooked. In this talk, I will be discussing the fossil record of parasites throughout Earth’s history. I will be talking about the insights that fossils can provide regarding the evolution of parasitism, the ecological role parasites might have played in the ancient world, and what fossil parasites can tell us about how their extinct hosts lived.

Went to #Calgary this past weekend and got to check out the #RoyalTyrrellMuseum
Definitely recommend it if you are in the area. #Drumheller is also all in on dinosaurs it's crazy.
Best dino pun they had was a Bed and Breakfast called Tyrannosaurus Rest

John TwynamThe Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology in Drumheller, Alberta is an interesting place for dinosaur lovers. I went in July 2021 and enjoyed all the displays, but I enjoyed the surrounding stark landscape even more.

This #whale-sized #marine #reptile in the #RoyalTyrrellMuseum is the #ichthyosaur Shastasaurus sikkaniensis. Unusually, it was not only one of the earliest members of its group, but one of the very largest. Its #species name comes from where it was found, along the Sikanni Chief River which flows out of the #RockyMountains of #BritishColumbia 🇨🇦. Its #genus name comes from Mt. #Shasta in the #CascadeRange, where other species of this Triassic titan have been found.
