Dino Lab

The Dino Lab is a facility in the Department of Biological Sciences that provides volunteers the necessary skills and techniques of proper paleontological preparation and conservation and fosters an interest in paleontology.

It also ensures protection and conservation of fossil specimens from the University of Alberta is important in the preparation and cataloging as many specimens for scientific study as possible.

The daytime lab runs Monday to Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. year-round. It is supervised by the preparatory staff.

We also operate an evening lab that runs Monday to Thursday from 5:00 to 7:00 P.M. in the Fall and Winter terms. It is supervised by graduate students from both the Currie and Sullivan labs.
