T.rex Discovery Centre, Paleontology museum in Eastend, Canada
The T.rex Discovery Centre is a paleontology museum in Eastend that displays numerous fossils and exhibits, including a complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton named Scotty. The collection documents millions of years of Earth history through scientifically prepared specimens.
The remains of Scotty were discovered in 1991 by a local teacher during a paleontological expedition in the Frenchman River Valley. This significant find expanded scientific understanding of this prehistoric species considerably.
The center offers educational programs about dinosaurs and Earth sciences while acknowledging its location on Treaty 4 Indigenous territory in Saskatchewan. Visitors gain insight into how scientific knowledge about prehistoric life develops through hands-on learning.
Visitors can observe paleontologists working in the research laboratory and participate in fossil excavation activities. The natural trail around the facility offers an additional way to explore the landscape and excavation sites.
Scotty is the oldest specimen of its kind discovered to date and lived during a time when the region's climate and landscape were dramatically different. Fieldwork on this fossil has revealed much about how these predators lived in their natural environment.
