Pop culture and science overlap and often inspire each other. Think of Gary Larson's contributions to paleontology! The author of the Farside Comics coined the term "Thagomizer," which paleontologists liked so much that it became the accepted terminology for the tail spike of the Stegosaurus.

Had a great time yesterday at DinoLab in Victoria @dinolabinc.bsky.social ! We learned tons, got to touch real Dino bones, a meteorite, and even work on real fossils. The coolest 🤩. Thanks DinoLab!

Look who has arrived in our museum! This new friend is a Pachycephalosaurus, the ‘thick headed lizard’! Living around 66-70 million years ago, it has been hypothesized that they would have used that big skull dome to headbutt each other like bighorn sheep or musk oxen, a good way to assert dominance

You’re looking out from the jaws of a Tyrannosaurus rex, the apex predator of the Late Cretaceous.
This terrifying giant had one of the most powerful bites in history, capable of crushing bone with a force of up to 8 tonnes—that’s like the weight of an African elephant pressing down on you!

Even though its name means the “Arm Lizard” it is the neck of Brachiosaurus that really steals the show. One of the largest animals to ever walk the Earth, the sauropod (‘lizard foot’) family really tipped the scales when it came to massive reptiles.

Although not dinosaurs themselves, Mosasaurs are a fascinating group of Mesozoic reptiles that dominated the seas of the late Cretaceous. With powerful jaws and muscular tails for swimming after food, Mosasaurs were apex aquatic predators.

Pictured here is one of our clutches of dinosaur eggs. Coming to us from France, each of these eggs is about the size of a cantaloupe melon.

Meet Hatzegopteryx, the Giant of the Skies!
If you think modern birds like eagles are impressive, wait until you learn about Hatzegopteryx

A new addition to our gallery at Dino Lab is a beautiful slice of the Admire pallasite meteorite!
Hailing from the state of Kansas, this meteorite sample has been expertly polished to highlight olivine crystals suspended in a web of nickel-rich iron. The overall effect is similar to stained glass.
