We have a new t-shirt design by our own President, Cory Gross!

In his own words,

“The new t-shirt design is meant to celebrate the diversity of Alberta’s prehistory and connections with our neighbouring regions. Flanking the APS logo to the left and right are a Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai from Pipestone Creek and a Bison latifrons, the ice-age longhorn buffalo that ranged across North America. Beneath the Pachyrhinosaurus is Albertonectes vanderveldei from the Bearpaw Formation, which is the world’s longest known elasmosaur. Beneath the Bison are a representative rugose coral, brachiopod, and scaphite ammonite. Directly beneath the APS logo are stromatolites, referencing the 1.1-billion-year-old Siyeh Formation fossils found in the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park and Castle Wildland Provincial Park area. Above the Pachyrhinosaurus is a giant lycopod tree like Lepidodendron or Sigillaria, representing the Stigmaria site that used to exist in Canyon Creek. Stigmaria is the name assigned to the root fossils of these ancient lycopods. One of less than a handful of Stigmaria sites in Canada, the site in Canyon Creek was apparently wiped out by the 2013 floods. Above the Bison is a Metasequoia tree, the leaves, twigs, and cones of which are common Late Cretaceous and Early Cenozoic fossils in Alberta. Between them is a volcano representing the 110-million-year-old eruption in the Cranbrook, B.C., area that deposited the Crowsnest Volcanics here in Alberta. Blairemorite is a rare volcanic rock known only from the Crowsnest Volcanics site in the Crowsnest Pass and the Lupata Gorge in Mozambique. The volcano is also a tribute to late APS member Phil Benham, who had a passion for climbing volcanoes around the world and passed away earlier this year.”
