Dig into prehistoric British Columbia and get up close and personal with “Buster”, the Iron Lizard of the Sustut River, and the other dinosaurs that once roamed the province’s highest peaks, densest forests and most remote river basins. Through research done by the Royal BC Museum’s palaeontology team, we’re learning just how many ancient creatures once called these lands home.
=0D=0A=Follow the footsteps of tyrannosaurs and ankylosaurs, see beautifully preserved marine fossils and meet the BC-born and bred Buster, our reigning resident ferrisaurus.
=0D=0A=Dinosaurs of BC initially debuted at the Royal BC Museum in 2023 and was met with an overwhelmingly positive public response.
=0D=0A=“The Courtenay and District Museum team is thrilled to welcome the Dinosaurs of BC exhibit from the Royal BC Museum, and to invite the public to discover ”Buster” and other dinosaurs that reflect the diversity of British Columbia’s ancient life. This, along with the Courtenay and District Museum’s palaeontological holdings, including the 80-million-year-old elasmosaur, now British Columbia’s official fossil emblem, will give visitors a rare and exciting experience in exploring BC’s vast fossil record” says Deborah Griffiths, Executive Director at the Courtenay Museum.
