T.rex Discovery Centre
The T.rex Discovery Centre is a museum located in Eastend, Saskatchewan, Canada, that was built to contain the fossil remains of the Tyrannosaurus rex nicknamed "Scotty" which was found nearby.[1][2] It also showcases many other fossil specimens that can be found in Saskatchewan.
The centre is operated by the Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM), of Regina, Saskatchewan, and was officially opened on May 30, 2003. The building contains the RSM Fossil Research Station.[3]
"Scotty" the T. rex was found in August 1991 by local high school teacher Robert Gebhardt.[4] Gebhardt had joined a team of palaeontologists from the RSM on a prospecting expedition alongside the Frenchman River Valley.[5]
