Dinosaur Ridge (Gangwon)

The Dinosaur Ridge is a mountain ridge in Seoraksan National Park in Gangwon Province, South Korea. It extends from Mardeungyeong to Sinam. It is one of Korea's cultural scenic treasures, being designated as the 103rd treasure in 2013. It earns it name due to the mountain peaks in the ridge looking like the back of a spiked dinosaur. The course is very strenuous, with steep peaks that require a 16+ hour hike to go through the course. It is listed among the most difficult mountain courses to climb in Korea.

Philip J. Currie Canadian paleontologist and museum curator

Philip John Currie is a Canadian palaeontologist and museum curator who helped found the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in Drumheller, Alberta and is now a professor at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. In the 1980s he became the director of the Canada-China Dinosaur Project, the first cooperative palaeontological partnering between China and the West since the Central Asiatic Expeditions in the 1920s, and helped describe some of the first feathered dinosaurs. He is one of the primary editors of the influential Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs, and his areas of expertise include theropods, the origin of birds, and dinosaurian migration patterns and herding behavior. He was one of the models for palaeontologist Alan Grant in the film Jurassic Park.

<i>Chirostenotes</i> genus of reptiles (fossil)

Chirostenotes is a genus of oviraptorosaurian dinosaur from the late Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada. The type species is Chirostenotes pergracilis.

The Oldman Formation is a stratigraphic unit of Late Cretaceous age that underlies much of southern Alberta, Canada. It consists primarily of sandstones that were deposited in fluvial channel and floodplain environments. It was named for exposures along the Oldman River between its confluence with the St. Mary River and the city of Lethbridge, and it is known primarily for its dinosaur remains and other fossils.

<i>Panoplosaurus</i> genus of reptiles (fossil)

Panoplosaurus is a genus of nodosaurid dinosaur. It was one of the last known nodosaurids, living during the Late Cretaceous in what is now North America; fossils have been located in Alberta, Canada.

Caenagnathidae family of reptiles (fossil)

Caenagnathidae is a family of bird-like maniraptoran theropod dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous of North America and Asia. They are a member of the Oviraptorosauria, and close relatives of the Oviraptoridae. Like other oviraptorosaurs, caenagnathids had specialized beaks, long necks, and short tails, and would have been covered in feathers. The relationships of caenagnathids were long a puzzle. The family was originally named by Raymond Martin Sternberg in 1940 as a family of flightless birds. The discovery of skeletons of the related oviraptorids revealed that they were in fact non-avian theropods, and the discovery of more complete caenagnathid remains revealed that Chirostenotes pergracilis, originally named on the basis of a pair of hands, and "Ornithomimus" elegans, named from a foot, were caenagnathids as well.

<i>Albertaceratops</i> genus of reptiles (fossil)

Albertaceratops was a genus of centrosaurine horned dinosaur from the middle Campanian-age Upper Cretaceous Oldman Formation of Alberta, Canada.

The Dinosaur Trail is a circular tourist route in the province of Alberta, Canada, located in the Canadian badlands paralleling the Red Deer River on both sides, from Drumheller to the Bleriot Ferry. It is divided in two segments, with the South Dinosaur Trail following the south side of the river and uses portions of Highway 575 and Highway 837, while North Dinosaur Trail follows the north side of the river and is the entirety of Highway 838. The north and south segments of Dinosaur Trail are connected by the Highway 9 / Highway 56 concurrency within Drumheller.

Boreonykus is an extinct genus of dromaeosaurid dinosaur, that lived during the Late Cretaceous in the area of present Canada.

Albertavenator is a genus of small troodontid theropod dinosaur, known from the early Maastrichtian in the Cretaceous period. It contains a single species, A. curriei, named after paleontologist Phil Currie, based on a partial left frontal found in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation of Alberta during the 1990s. Albertavenator's discovery indicates that small dinosaur diversity may be underestimated at present due to the difficulty in identifying species from fragmentary remains.

Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum paleontology collection

The Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum is located in Wembley, Alberta. It was named for Canadian paleontologist Phillip J. Currie. The museum opened in September 2015 under the leadership of the founding President & CEO, George Jacob,(https://www.mygrandeprairienow.com/10857/dino-museum-ceo-named-influential-albertan/) winning 9 awards in 9 months. Its location was chosen, in part, due to the proximity of a creek known as the River of Death that has been the source of significant fossil finds. Among the museum's highlights is a skeleton of a Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai dinosaur, considered native to the area.
