"Albertosaurus"

Albertosaurus was the largest meat-eating dinosaur of its day. It lived about 10 million years before its larger cousin, Tyrannosaurus rex. Fossils of meat-eating dinosaurs are very rare, and this is the only Albertosaurus ever found in New Mexico. This specimen is considered very complete, and includes much of the skull, jaws with large (3-inch long) serrated teeth, vertebrae, ribs, part of the pelvis, and hind-limb bone (the femur).

• Length: about 30 feet
