BC'S FOSSIL BOUNTY ON TELUS OPTIK TV

Melissa Kay, Fossil Restoration Technician, Dino Lab Inc.
Cue the confetti! BC's Fossil Bounty begins filming Season Two today. For those of you waiting on Season One, it was released this past week. Each of our interviewees are wonderfully engaging and share their stories to much delight.

A huge thank you to everyone for participating and making this show possible. You can look for Season One on TELUS Optik TV or on YouTube. You can also find links to the series on the BC's Fossil Bounty page on Facebook.

Join the Fossil Huntress as we explore the rich fossil bounty of fossil plants, dinosaurs to mighty marine reptiles and the people who unearth them.

Discover British Columbia's violent past — how plate tectonics, volcanoes and glaciers shaped the land and why we find plant fossils along the Kitsilano foreshore and marine fossils beneath False Creek.

Did you know that some female dinosaurs have distinctive bone material that tells us they are just about to give birth or just became new mammas? What are some of the fossils you can find in the Vancouver area and around British Columbia? What makes for environmentally and socially responsible mining? Where IS Waldo?

Dr. Catherine Hickson & Dr. John Clague
Did you know there is a place you can visit where they encourage you to touch the fossils? Yep, Dino Lab is your go-to for the full touch-and-feel dino experience!

How do you get a job prepping dinosaurs or creating larger-than-life murals for museums of our ancient world? You will love this show if you are thinking of becoming a palaeontologist or working with fossils.

​Hear from palaeontologists, geologists, geochemists, science organizations, dinosaur docents, palaeoartists and fossil preparators whose work brings our ancient world to life.
