Happy #FossilFriday! This is #Einiosaurus procurvicornis, a horned #dinosaur from the #Cretaceous Two Medicine Formation in #Montana. The species name procurvicornis means “forward curving horn,” highlighting the shape of its nasal horn
Yesterday we held Currie Fest-a special symposium to honour Phil’s 50 years of conducting dinosaur research in Alberta. What an amazing career— thanks Phil for everything you have done for palaeontology, and inspiring so many!

It's Fossil Friday! Meet Edmontonia rugosidens. This tank-like ankylosaur lived during the late Cretaceous ~75 mya. Snapped circa 1922, this image depicts a Museum preparator readying the specimen for display. Today it can be seen in the Museum’s Hall of Ornithischian Dinosaurs.
#FossilFriday Just a reminder on how cool the Utahraptor megablock is... We have a manuscript on the bacteria coating the bones in review. Check out the digital fly through: https://t.co/M7s99vrgDw @Paleontologizin@JurassicWorld@JurassicFDN
