DINOSAUR of Cretaceous Alberta (Canada).
Royal Ontario Museum skeleton.
Albertosaurus is a genus of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaurs that lived in western North America during the Late Cretaceous Period. The type species, A. sarcophagus, was apparently restricted in range to the modern-day Canadian province of Alberta, after which the genus is named, although an indeterminate species (cf. Albertosaurus sp.) has been discovered in the Corral de Enmedio and Packard Formations in Mexico.

Scientists disagree on the content of the genus, with some recognizing??as a second species.

As a tyrannosaurid,?Albertosaurus?was a???with tiny, two-fingered hands and a massive head that had dozens of large, sharp teeth. It may have been at the top of the??in its local?. While?Albertosaurus?was large for a theropod, it was much smaller than its larger and more famous relative?, growing 9 to 10?m (30 to 33?ft) and possibly weighing 2.5 tons (2.8 short tons) or less.

Since the first discovery in 1884,??of more than 30 individuals have been recovered, providing scientists with a more detailed knowledge of?Albertosaurus?anatomy than is available for most other tyrannosaurids. The discovery of 26 individuals at one site provides evidence of??behavior and allows studies of??and?, which are impossible with lesser-known dinosaurs.

Taylor Made Fossils?Item code:?

Gorgosaurus and Albertosaurus are extremely similar, distinguished mainly by?subtle differences in the teeth and skull bones. Some experts consider G. libratus to be a species of Albertosaurus; this would make Gorgosaurus a junior synonym of that genus.
