Here's a little visual tour of my work trip last week - I headed to the T-Rex Discovery Centre in Eastend to help dismantle and move the Tylosaurus, Omaciw (pronounced O-mawch-ee-oh; it means "hunter" in Cree) to the museum in Swiftcurrent for exhibit.

| Heeeeeeeeere's Omaciw!! |

| Unpacking Omaciw in Swiftcurrent. |
 |
| Setting him back up on the stands was way easier than taking him apart! |
 |
| Putting Omaciw back together. |
 |
| Making sure the stands are tight! |
 |
| Taking a quick break to discuss how to get the head remounted. |
 |
| A whole lot of ladders were needed to get Omaciw's head on straight. |
 |
| The finished product, ready to strike terror into passersby! |

So if you're in the area, be sure to check out the T-Rex Discovery Centre in Eastend for more totally awesome dinosaur exhibits, and get to Swiftcurrent to visit Omaciw!
