This exhibit highlights Wendy Slobodas
life as a dinosaur hunter and a local paleontology heroine!
In 1987, she discovered the first Canadian dinosaur eggs
in southern Alberta. Ten years later, she located a fossilized
dinosaur dropping containing the remains of bone from aT
rex meal. And in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, Wendy found
what may be a new type of legless lizard. She even has a
new species of dinosaur named after her because she was
the first to find its footprint!
