Be a dinosaur detective as you explore fossil sites in British Columbia’s Rocky Mountains and look for traces of dinosaurs and other ancient life. How did dinosaur footprints get on top of a mountain? What can we learn from them? Join paleontologists Lisa Buckley and Richard McCrea as they search for clues to the types of organisms that lived here millions of years ago, and how they relate to organisms we see around us.

Footprints in Time is an online educational resource with stunning immersive panoramic environments. Discover videos from the field in which paleontologists find new fossils in unexpected places. Play games and try out activities that demonstrate how fossils form and how paleontologists work. Quiz yourself to see how much you’ve learned.
