Phaeton Group’s Dr. Michael Ryan with Albertaceratops nesmoi skull.

–

My good friend, Dr. Michael Ryan of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, the Southern Alberta Dinosaur Research Group, and Phaeton Group, has described a new type of dinosaur, Albertaceratops nesmoi. The fossilized remains of the ancient Ceratopsian was discovered near Manyberries, Alberta about six years ago. I was fortunate enough to be able to witness some of the research that went into the discovery and was asked to photograph (above) Dr. Ryan and the fossilized skull for the press release and public relations use.

Michael has informed me that the photo has been featured in a press release and, beginning this weekend, has spread to newspapers and websites around the world courtesy of Associated Press.

Along with a front-page blurb and large article spread on A3 of the March 5 edition of the Calgary Herald, it has shown up on Yahoo! News, CNN, USAToday, CBS News, Science Daily, the International Business Times, and many more. You can find the articles by doing a search on ‘alberta dinosaur‘ in Google News.

If any of you wonderful DDM blog readers find the photo in your local paper, please send me a copy of the article. I can provide a mailing address when you contact me.

Though this isn’t the first time I have had something published internationally, I believe it may be the first photo of one of Michael’s discoveries I have had displayed in international newspapers and some major websites.

For more information on Albertaceratops nesmoi be sure to check out the Southern Alberta Dinosaur Research Group website.

Congratulations to Dr. Ryan and his palaeontological teammates and thanks to him for the photo recognition.

First bit of hoofed wildlife I’ve seen since I arrived at The Banff Centre. And they decided to use the sidewalk too!

Jay and I did our part to help preserve the beauty of the National Park and hauled up some computer parts that people had thrown over the side of the mountain. Unbelievable.

Thanks for coming out to Banff to visit me Jay! It was definitely a nice way to spend Family Day!

We took advantage of the beautiful weather and scenery and hiked around the Spray Loop Trail near The Banff Centre and Banff Springs Hotel for most of the afternoon. We also stopped at a few shops on Banff Avenue, had some dinner at Edo Japan, and after a tour of The Banff Centre, discussed upcoming projects and Banff New Media Institute workshops. Pretty good day overall.
