Big Bert

Saskatchewan's very own Crocodile

Location: Humboldt and District Museum

Big Bert is the world's most complete Terminonaris robusta crocodile skeleton; discovered right here in Saskatchewan. This marine predator was 5.6 m (19 feet) long; its skull alone was more than 1 m long. It lived around 92 million years ago when Saskatchewan was under a great inland sea. Palaeontologist Tim Tokaryk first discovered part of the skeleton along the banks of the Carrot River in the Pasquia Hills in 1991. A year later, the RSM and a crew from the Canadian Museum of Nature collected the rest of the fossil.

A special thank you to the Royal Saskatchewan Museum
