Museum Skills Workshops: Ice Age Palaeo Anatomy

This is a unique workshop you won't want to miss!

How can you tell the difference between a Mastodon tooth and a Mammoth tooth? Or between a Bison’s foot and a Horse’s? These skills, and many more, are key for paleontologists as they piece together Alberta’s frozen past!

In this workshop, the Royal Alberta Museum's Quaternary Paleontology Team will teach you the basic comparative anatomy of Ice Age fossils and how to examine a skeleton to identify an animal group or species.
