Discovering Microfossils

Have you ever wondered how fossils are found?

The study of these tiny fossils is called micropalaeontology, and the process of searching for them is known as microfossil picking or micro-matrix sorting.

Join TRDC Lead Hand Mollie Black and Paleontologist John Storer outside the T.rex Discovery Centre on Sunday, July 26, at 2:00pm for a fascinating live demonstration. Watch as they use the "Tumbler" to sort through fossil-bearing material and discover tiny prehistoric remains. From start to finish, you'll see how scientists carefully uncover clues that help piece together Saskatchewan's ancient past.
