  • Historica Canada Education Portal Joseph Tyrrell
    Historica Canada Education Portal Joseph Tyrrell Overview This lesson is based on viewing the J.B Tyrrell biography from The Canadians series. Tyrrell was an important geological surveyor for the Canadian government in the late nineteenth century. Among his many achievements, he mapped the North, discovered coal, and the remains of what became known as the Albertasaurus. Aims Although there is now a museum in Tyrrell's honour, he was not recognized for his achievements in his lifetime. Students will research Tyrrell's achievements, using both primary and secondary sources, and assess the importance of his discoveries. Background In 1884, Joseph Tyrrell, geological surveyor for the Government of Canada, led a small group of explorers and cartographers into Alberta's badlands. There he made the major discovery of his life: the remains of a 6,000 year old dinosaur – the Albertasaurus. Unfortunately, he was denied the recognition for this discovery and this became a metaphor for his life. The man whose mission was to chart the unknown felt overlooked and misunderstood himself. Joseph Burr Tyrrell was born in Weston, Ontario, on 1 November 1858. He witnessed Canada's Confederation as a young boy in Toronto, and even though he was small and sickly, he caught the fever of a new country and dreamed about a life of adventure and exploration. His dream would come true as a geological surveyor for the Canadian government and his work took him to the uncharted wilds of Canada. He mapped the Great Plains of Alberta, and later the Northwest Territories, which were so unknown at the time that they were thought to be inhabited by cannibals.

    JOURNAL OF ALBERTA POSTAL HISTORY Issue #22 Edited by Dale Speirs, Box 6830, Calgary, Alberta T2P 2E7, or [email protected] Published in February 2020. POSTAL HISTORY OF RED DEER RIVER BADLANDS: PART 2 by Dale Speirs This issue deals with the northern section of the Red Deer River badlands of south-central Alberta from Kneehill canyon to Rosedale. The badlands portion of the river stretches for 200 kilometres, gouged out by glacial meltwaters. The badlands are the richest source of Late Cretaceous dinosaurs in the world. Originally settled by homesteaders, the coal industry dominated from the 1920s to its death in the 1950s. Since then, the tourist industry has grown, with petroleum and agriculture strong. 2 Part 1 appeared in JAPH #13. Index To Post Offices.

Below is a modern map of the area, showing Drumheller’s central position in the badlands. It began in 1911 as a coal mining village and grew rapidly during the heyday of coal. After World War Two, when railroads converted to diesel and buildings were heated with natural gas, Drumheller went into a decades-long decline. The economic slump was finally reversed by the construction of the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology, the world’s largest fossil museum and a major international tourist destination.

This is her story. “I’ve always loved looking for fossils. While I was growing up in Warner, near the Milk River, my parents and I went for walks to look for them. Then one day, when I was older, I was walking near Devil’s Coulee. On the dry, sandy soil, I found what I thought might be bits of dinosaur eggs. Soon scientists from the Tyrrell Museum came to investigate. “In a few days we made a special find on a nearby hillside. We found nests that had whole fossilized eggs and baby dinosaurs! We were so excited. It was a unique find.
