When did Joseph tyrrell find albertosaurus?

Joseph Tyrrell did not find an Albertosaurus. He was a famous Canadian geologist who discovered the first complete skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus rex in 1884.

The first Albertosaurus was discovered in 1884 by Lawrence Lambe, not Joseph Tyrrell. However, it wasn't until 1905 that Henry Fairfield Osborn named the species.

It's important to note that even though Tyrrell didn't find an Albertosaurus, his discovery of the T-Rex was a major contribution to paleontology.
