Over the years I have collected literally thousands of fossils from many locations throughout Alberta, encompassing a wide variety of paleoenvironments. Although most of my collection would not be deemed "museum quality", I have managed to put together a fairly nice sample of Alberta's ancient plants and animals. A small portion of my collection was considered to have scientific value, and resides with the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology, in Drumheller Alberta.

The bones pictured in the left image and in the upper left logo of this web page are an example of the type of specimens that I have collected over the years. They were initially identified as belonging to a "Saurornithoidid", and are housed at the museum for further study.

The following pages will catalogue my collection, were practical I will try and include a photograph of the sample and a classification. Please keep in mind however that a detailed classification of my specimens may not be possible or accurate.

The majority of my collection come from the South Saskatchewan River valley north-east of Medicine Hat, Alberta, although I also have collected in Northern and Central Alberta.

Fossil collecting in Alberta is strictly regulated through the Historical Resources Act which covers all aspects of collecting, handling, and storage of our natural historical resources. It is ILLEGAL to "dig", sell, or remove fossils from Alberta without special permission from the Provincial Government.

In an effort to protect those fossils remaining in-situ, I cannot reveal more than a general location for my fossil locations. Professional researchers should contact me directly, or the Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller for additional information on my collection. Royal Tyrrell Museum

The majority of my fossils come from what is called the "Judith River Group". It is a group of geologic formations dating back to the late Cretaceous period, roughly 70 - 80 million years ago. During the Upper Cretaceous period 75 million years ago, eastern Alberta was a low coastal plain at the edge of the shallow Bearpaw Sea. The climate was subtropical and the rich wildlife included dozens of dinosaur species, fish, turtles, frogs, lizards, flying reptiles and even marsupials.

The Judith River Group is well known for the large number of fossils specimens collected, and for the wide range of animals that it contains. My collection also covers a wide range of fossils including: amphibians, turtles, fish, champsosaur, crocodile, and remains of Hadrosaur, Ceratopsian, Ankylosaur, small and large Theropods.
