Ancient Saskatchewan Celebrities on the Move Again

Released on May 28, 2014

Three Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM) travelling exhibits, featuring some of Saskatchewan’s most famous ancient creatures, are moving to different communities across the province.

“These exhibits make learning about our province’s past an enjoyable, accessible experience,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Kevin Doherty said.  “As our province grows, more and more people will seek out opportunities to learn about Saskatchewan.  By generating thrilling educational opportunities for residents and visitors across the province, these exhibits enhance quality of life.”

“Many people don’t realize that Saskatchewan has an incredibly rich, diverse fossil record,” RSM Director Harold Bryant said.  “Palaeontologists in our province have uncovered many well-preserved fossils and there are certainly more to discover.  These exhibits help raise awareness of our province’s impressive and exciting fossil history.”

Big Bert, the RSM’s newest palaeontological travelling exhibit, has moved from its temporary home at the Western Development Museum in Moose Jaw to the Great Sandhills Museum and Interpretive Centre in Sceptre.  Big Bert will reside in Sceptre until September.  Big Bert, a 92 million-year-old crocodile that is nearly six metres long, was discovered in 1991 along the banks of the Carrot River.  Big Bert is the world’s most complete Terminonaris crocodile skeleton.

The North Battleford Western Development Museum is hosting two travelling exhibits that will be on display from June until October - Omaciw and Scotty’s skull.

Omaciw, whose exhibit is known as Hunter of the Prairie Sea, is moving to North Battleford from the Yorkton Western Development Museum.  Omaciw, 72 million-years-old, is a Tylosaur, a marine reptile related to modern lizards and snakes.  The fossil was discovered near the Herbert Ferry on the south shore of Lake Diefenbaker in 1994.

Scotty’s skull, an exhibit entitled A Glimpse of T. rex and its World, is travelling from Carlton Comprehensive High School in Prince Albert to North Battleford.  Scotty is one of the most complete T. rex skeletons in the world.  The 65 million-year-old dinosaur was found near Eastend in 1991.
