Downtown Saskatoon Tour

This guide will help you to find all kinds of surprises in downtown Saskatoon! Many of the buildings use Tyndall Stone, a sedimentary rock that was formed 450 million years ago. It contains the fossils of animals and plants that lived then in a shallow sea that covered much of our continent. Learn about some of the fossils, the history of the buildings, and go on some scavenger hunts.

Our digital collection records and photos currently live on OneDrive. Please contact us if you have questions or feedback, or if you would like a higher quality photo of any specimen.

Visit GeoExplore Saskatchewan to learn about the geoscientific wonders that Saskatchewan has to offer: meteorite impact structures, fossils, ancient mountain belts, waterfalls, and so much more! There is also an interactive map full of locations to explore in person.
