| Additional information |
The Albertosaurus was named in 1905 — the same year Alberta became a province — after specimens recovered from the Horseshoe Canyon Formation near Drumheller. The Royal Canadian Mint launched its "Prehistoric Animals" bullion and collector series partly in response to sustained Canadian public interest in the country's exceptional fossil record, which includes some of the densest concentrations of Late Cretaceous theropod material anywhere on earth. Alberta's Badlands have yielded more than forty individual Albertosaurus specimens from a single bone bed, suggesting pack or gregarious behavior debated among paleontologists to this day.
