About Lawrence Lambe
- Lawrence Morris Lambe (1863–1919) was a Canadian geologist, palaeontologist, and ecologist from the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC). 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 1880s 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.
- In addition to paleontology, Lambe discovered a number of invertebrate species ranging from Canada to the Pacific Northwest.
- Lambe's contemporary discoveries were published in works such as Sponges From the Atlantic Coast of Canada and Catalogue of the recent marine sponges of Canada and Alaska.
