Royal Tyrell Museum

Went to the Royal Tyrell Museum today for my birthday! So cool, and yes, the dinosaurs were just as impressive as I remembered them from my childhood. Take a gander at a few pictures I took.

A very impressive Gorgosaurus fossil.

Yep, that's me with the 'Tyrant Lizard': T-Rex.

A MASSIVE crocodile skull. Sorry for the bad quality; shooting pictures through glass can be a pain.

The skull of the iconic Albertosaurus.

A very famous ancient herbivore, Triceratops.

Another T-Rex. I think the museum had something like 5 or 6 displays of them!

Some really neat amber samples.

A 21 m (69 ft) sea monster fossil! Sorry, I neglected to get what species of ichthyosaur it was.

A neat predator/prey scene.

Me and Edmontosaurus. At least, I think it's an Edmontosaur. I (once again) neglected to get the name of the dinosaur.

Stegosaurus. One of the cooler herbivores, in my opinion.

A neat recreation of Gorgosaurus and Centrosaurus.

Velociraptor feeding on the carcass of a Centrosaur.

Me underneath a Mastodon. You can also see a sabre-tooth tiger leaping onto the Mastodon in the top-right corner.

That's about it, hope you enjoyed them as much as I did taking them!
