This Albertosaurus is in rough shape. Yet it is one of the more complete individuals of its species. Albertosaurus is an animal who is tightly interwoven with the history of the province after which it is named. It was first dinosaur skeleton ever recovered from what is now Alberta by Joseph Tyrrell in 1886 but it wasn't given its name until 1905, the year the province of Alberta was born. Albertosaurus had its own history 70 million years ago. My research is focused on understanding the world it lived in and how its environment changed over time. Dinosaurs like Albertosaurus serve as a reminder that we do not own these lands, we are simply their latest inhabitants.
