Take an online dive into a 500-million-year-old sea
Paul Sereno, one of my FAVOURITE palaeontologists, is coming to @ROMToronto this Sunday and I could not be be MORE excited. Except for maybe those times when I was a kid…
(cue time travel sound effect- swosh swish swash)
When I was a kid I had a pretty strict bed time. For grades 3 through 5, bed time was somewhere around 8-9PM. Very rarely were exceptions made. About the only time I ever remember my mom letting me stay up was for one of my favourite tv shows, Paleoworld.
When dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
A dedicated kids' zone for learning fun.
The rise of mammals following the great extinction of dinosaurs.
One hundred years ago a discovery was made that drastically changed our view of the history of life on Earth. The ROM presents A Fossil Paradise: The Discovery of the Burgess Shale by Charles D. Walcott explores the Burgess Shale’s early excavations, including vintage panoramic photos, site artifacts and a profile of the man who made the great discovery as told by his personal field notes and letters.

Kevin Seymour is an Assistant Curator in Vertebrate Palaeontology and is Collections Manager for the ROM’s famous collection of fossil vertebrates.
Born and raised in Ottawa, Kevin has worked at the ROM since 1983, and completed his Ph.D. while working at the Museum. His dissertation research examined the South American small cats (taxonomy, morphology, palaeontology) to better understand the evolutionary relationships of this group. He has done fieldwork collecting fossil vertebrates in Canada, the United States and Mexico.
Kevin’s research interests include the Quaternary faunas of eastern North America, especially Ontario, and the evolution of the North and South American cats. He was coordinating curator for the new Reed Gallery of the Age of Mammals, and was also heavily involved in the planning for the new James and Louise Temerty Galleries of the Age of Dinosaurs.
