Stopped by the Canadian Fossil Discovery Centre this afternoon and had an amazing time!

Here, you will find the largest collection of marine reptile fossils in Canada, along with Bruce, the largest mosasaur in the country. You can travel back to prehistoric times and try to see Manitoba as the ocean environment it once was through the fossils and exhibits.

Located in Morden, it's open 10am-5pm Mondays to Fridays, and Noon-5pm on the weekends. Perfect place to spend your long weekend, both educational and fun for children and adults alike.

Just spent a fantastic afternoon at the Canadian Fossil Discovery Centre , seeing this exhibit and all the other informational displays. This is a great place to learn about Manitoba's prehistoric past, and visit the resident record breaker, Bruce!
Perfect activity for the long weekend, for children and adults alike.

While many visitors refer to our mosasaurs as a dinosaurs, the fact is that the marine reptiles were not dinosaurs, but a separate lineage of species. Actually, we have to get back in time to the Late Carboniferous 300 million years ago to find a common ancestor in the Clade Diapsid.
However, we have a huge collection of Hesperornis, which it is actually an extinct species of avian theropods (dinosaurs) like the birds are today.
Even though never a non-avian dinosaur has been found in Manitoba yet, the CFDC has a nice exhibit displaying an Allosaurus fragilis replica skeleton, a Hadrosaurid sculpture, and an actual-bone Edmontosaurus fossil femur, originally from Alberta.
This exhibit is intended precisely to explain the differences between marine reptiles and dinosaurs.
We did not lose the hope though, to find a dinosaur in our marine sediments, a relatively common occurrence when a dinosaur carcass is washed away by a fast flood and deposited in a marine environment.
