Calling all fossil hunters! Unveiled in 2020, Thanatotheristes degrootorum is the first new tyrannosaur species discovered in Canada in over 50 years. This “Reaper of Death” was identified thanks to fossil fragments found along the Bow River in Alberta.

Beneath the black rhodium plating, the engraved rock texture represents the formation in which the fossil fragments were found.
