Sign in to saveAlbertosaurus (; meaning "Alberta lizard") is a genus of large tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived in northwestern North America during the early to middle Maastrichtian age of the Late Cretaceous period, about 71 million years ago. 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 of Mexico. Scientists disagree on the content of the genus and some recognize
Albertosaurus was a large meat-eating dinosaur related to T. rex that roamed northwestern North America about 71 million years ago, with fossils primarily found in Alberta, Canada. It matters to paleontologists because it helps us understand the diversity and distribution of large predatory dinosaurs during the Late Cretaceous period before dinosaurs went extinct.
