Northern Montana
editThe two sources cited for the idea labertosaurus had no presence in montana are one by philip currie and one by Holtz for the dinosauria. The one by philip currie does not mention the topic, the one by the dinosauria has problems (mainly the fact it states that only place to find fossils of albertasaurus is in on formation in Alberta the horeshoe formation, even though there are some credible bones from the Scollard Formation of alberta). The author of that segment in dinosauria thomas holtz actually went later on to say Albertosaurus did live in Montana in he's book the dinosaurs, the most complete and up to date encylopedia for all ages. Further more in northern montana (near the border with alberta) fossils of Albertosaurus that are not listed under cf are found. --Bubblesorg (talk) 18:33, 14 July 2020 (UTC) Citations: https://paleobiodb.org/classic/basicCollectionSearch?collection_no=14492, https://paleobiodb.org/classic/basicCollectionSearch?collection_no=11898, On reptilian remains from the Cretaceous of north-western Canada.

Shouldn't Gorgosaurus be listed as a possible synonym?
editfrom what I see, the debate of whether or not Gorgosaurus is a species of Albertosaurus is still going on and it's possible that it still could be. so shouldn't it be acknowledged in the infobox? Crylophosaurus (talk) 21:36, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
New Albertosaurines Aren't Albertosaurines
edit" In addition to this, several albertosaurine specimens have been recovered from Alaska and New Mexico. Currie suggested that the Albertosaurus-Gorgosaurus situation may be clarified once these are fully described."
That's an outdated bit of info right there. The Alaskan fossils have been described as Nanuqsaurus and those from New Mexico as Bistahieversor, neither of which are albertosaurines and thus add nothing to the Albertosaurus/Gorgosaurus controversy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.204.218.86 (talk • contribs)
