Lawrence Lambe

Lawrence Morris Lambe studied science at the Royal Military College in Kingston before joining the Geological Survey of Canada in 1884. Working closely with American paleontologist Henry Fairfield Osborn, Lambe became the chief vertebrate paleontologist for the GSC, pioneering systematic fossil digs in Alberta's Red Deer River valley.

Between 1897 and his death in 1919, Lambe discovered, prepared, and scientifically described a magnificent array of Late Cretaceous dinosaurs, including Centrosaurus, Chasmosaurus, Gorgosaurus, Edmontosaurus, and Euoplocephalus. The iconic crested duck-billed dinosaur Lambeosaurus was posthumously named in his honor by William Parks.
