A new species of dinosaur has been identified. It was found in the badlands near the Royal Tyrell Museum in Alberta, Canada. It was actually found in 1980 with additional specimens found in 193 and 1996. New examinations of the skull fragments,(found with the first specimen), have led to the determination that it was a new species. At first they thought it was the very gifted (smart) dinosaur called Troodon. Now the new species is named, Albertavenator curiei. It was name after the Canadian privince of Alberta and after the famous paleontologist Phillip Curie. Venator means hunter in Latin. Albertavenator lived about 71 million years ago. A bit before T.rex.
