Text Appearing Before Image:
Early Explorations, 18 73 to 1901 These were the events that shaped the region in which the early geological explorers of the Canadian plains made their pioneer discoveries. The first geologist here was Dr. James Hector, of the Palliser Expedition of 1857-60. He collected the fossil shells of mollusks, but did not report fossil bones. The honour of being the first to discover dinosaur remains in Canada belongs to Dr. George Mercer Dawson, along with many other "firsts" in the scientific exploration of our west. Dawson (Harrington and Ami, 1902) was the second son of Sir William Dawson, also a great Canadian geologist and first Principal of McGill University. George Dawson was born in Pictou, Nova Scotia, in 1875, and was educated at McGill and at the Royal School of Mines in London where his teachers included Murchison and Huxley. In 1873 he was appointed geologist and naturalist to Her Majesty's North American Boundary Commission, which was set up to collaborate with a similar body from the United States to survey and mark the 49th parallel of latitude from the Lake of the Woods to the Rocky Mountains. Dawson's task was to survey and map the geology of a belt of unspecified width, but extending from east to west over 800 miles, most of it in uninhabited and largely unexplored country. To appreciate what George Dawson did as geologist of the Boundary Commission, and later in his many explorations of the Canadian west, one should realize something that is glossed over in his biographies.
