The Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada is a treasure trove of fossils from the Age of Dinosaurs. Fossils of more than 500 species of life ranging from microscopic spores of fern to gigantic carnivorous dinosaurs have been discovered from this park. The site was originally called Steveville Dinosaur Provincial Park in 1955. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.
The discoveries from the park were shipped to museums across the globe for scientific study and display until 1985. The Royal Ontario Museum and the American Museum of Natural History in New York are some of the places showcasing the finds from the Dinosaur Provincial Park. However, in 1985, the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology was established which now exhibits most of them. The Visitor Centre of Dinosaur Provincial Park has exhibits about dinosaurs, fossils and the geological and natural history of the park.
