Work to excavate marine vertebrate fossils at the Manitoba Escarpment. On the Dig Tour program, you will work alongside an experienced palaeontological team to expose and collect 83-million-year-old fossils as part of an active excavation.
Your day will include transportation, lunch, training in palaeontological field techniques, hands-on work to expose and collect fossils, and learning about current research. Contribute to ongoing research done by the Canadian Fossil Discovery Centre and find out firsthand what the landscape in what Manitoba is today was like 83 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous.
Cancellations may occur due to extreme weather events, including extreme heat and rain.
Dig Tours are available on weekdays from June 1st until September 30th, 2024.
