Philip Currie says he'll keep digging until he's one with the fossils he has spent his life unearthing.

Currie hopes to find an intact specimen of his favourite dinosaur, Troodon formosus.

The museum that’s named after him celebrates its 10th anniversary next year .

It is one of several museums Currie has helped build in Canada and around the world.

“If dinosaurs hadn’t become extinct, what would we look like now? Even though I’m not religious, I think about these things on a bigger scale,” he said.

“It’s not just an asteroid hitting the world 65 million years ago . There is something else going on. There's something else.

Our story is incomplete.”.
