Devil's Coulee Dinosaur Heritage Museum, Paleontology museum in Warner, Canada
The Devil's Coulee Dinosaur Heritage Museum is a small museum in Warner, Alberta, built around ten fossilized dinosaur eggs found in 1997 at the nearby Devil's Coulee site. The eggs are attributed to a hadrosaur, specifically a Hypacrosaurus. The museum interprets the Fossil Coulee region's finds for visitors.
In 1997, ten fossilized eggs identified as those of a Hypacrosaurus, a hadrosaur, were found at the Devil's Coulee site near Warner. Fossils had been found before in the area known as the Fossil Coulee region, and the town of Warner established the museum to interpret the story of these finds.
The museum's name comes from the coulee where the 1997 eggs were found, a site the town of Warner took on to interpret. It is affiliated with the Canadian Museums Association, the Canadian Heritage Information Network and the Virtual Museum of Canada, and it explains the Fossil Coulee finds to visiting school groups and travellers.
The museum is located in Warner, Alberta, and operates mainly during the warmer months. Visitors should check opening details ahead of their visit to plan accordingly.
Visitors can participate in hands-on fossil excavation activities where they uncover specimens themselves in a simulated bone bed. This experience takes place in a Heritage Garden setting and provides genuine insight into paleontological fieldwork.
