Overview
- The University of Calgary counted 682 people in dinosaur costumes, beating the 468 mark for the largest such gathering.
- A Guinness adjudicator confirmed the total on campus using head counts and drone photos, with only entrants who clearly looked like dinosaurs qualifying.
- The push came as a 60th‑anniversary celebration with about 700 sign‑ups, live music, a free barbecue, and a panel featuring Olympian Catriona Le May Doan.
- Guinness says the new mark will appear in its next print edition, and a framed certificate now sits on campus.
- The previous title was held by the Cox Science Center and Aquarium in West Palm Beach, Florida.
