Chasmosaurus irvinensis

Collectors' Tips

Most dinosaurs collected in Canada have been found in Alberta and Saskatchewan, but the best place to look for dinosaurs is in a museum.

Dinosaur bones are important scientific specimens that can be very easily damaged by untrained hands. There are laws to protect them for this reason. If you discover dinosaur bones, don't try to dig them out! Call the nearest museum and tell them where you found the dinosaur.

Field jackets.

One of these field jackets would cover a medium-sized dining-room table.
