Window to Preparation Lab

The Tyrrell Museum preparation labs are among the best-equipped palaeontology labs anywhere. During the summer most staff members are in the field collecting new specimens, but during the winter months 8 or more preparators work here, carefully removing fossils from large blocks of rock.

Be sure to pick up The Bone Line telephone located to the right side of the window. A recorded message will give you an updates on activity visible in the Museum's preparation lab.
