'''Lawrence Morris Lambe''' (1849-1934) was a famous [[Geology|geologist]] and [[Palaeontology|palaeontologist]] from the [[Geological Survey of Canada]] (GSC). He was [[Canada]]'s first great geologist. His published work, describing the diverse and plentiful [[dinosaur]] discoveries from the fossil beds in [[Alberta]], did much to bring dinosaurs into the public eye and helped usher in the ''Golden Age of Dinosaurs'' in the province. During this period, between the 1880’s and World War I, dinosaur hunters from all over the world converged on Alberta. ''[[Lambeosaurus]]'', a well-known [[hadrosaur]], was named after him as a tribute, in 1923.

Lambe's work in western [[Canada]] began in 1897. He discovered a number of new dinosaur genera and species over the next few years, and spent much of his time preparing the fossil galleries of the GSC's museum. In 1902, he described Canada's first dinosaur finds, various species of ''[[Monoclonius]]''. He described ''[[Centrosaurus]]'' in 1904. ''[[Euoplocephalus]]'' was named by him, in 1910. In 1913, he named ''[[Styracosaurus]]''. He was responsible for naming ''[[Chasmosaurus]]'' and ''[[Gorgosaurus]]'', in 1914 and ''[[Eoceratops]]'' in 1915. In 1917, he created the genus ''[[Edmontosaurus]]''. In 1919 came ''[[Panoplosaurus]]''. He also discovered and named the [[hadrosaurid]] ''[[Gryposaurus]]''.

Inevitably, it was not only dinosaurs that Lambe discovered. The crocodilian ''[[Leidyosuchus|Leidysuchus canadensis]]'' was described in 1907. This is the most commonly found crocodilian species found in the [[Late Cretaceous]] deposits of Alberta. He also studied [[Devonian]] fishes from [[New Brunswick]] and [[Paleozoic]] [[coral]]s, collected [[Tertiary]] [[insect]]s and plants in [[British Columbia]] but it is for his work on vertebrates from western Canada, especially dinosaurs, that he is most famous.
