Abstract

The American Museum Expedition of Cretaceous Dinosaur Beds in Alberta (1910-1915) was led by Barnum Brown to explore the Cretaceous beds of Alberta, Canada, along the Red Deer River and Edmonton formation. Brown collected fossil specimens, new or little known at the time, including crested and horned dinosaurs. This was one of three major Vertebrate Paleontology expeditions in North America carried out by the American Museum of Natural History at the turn of the 20th century.
