Lawrence Lambe
Lawrence Morris Lambe (August 27, 1863 – March 12, 1919) was a Canadian geologist, palaeontologist, and ecologist from the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC).

During this period, between the 1880s and World War I, dinosaur hunters from all over the world converged on Alberta. Read more on Wikipedia
