Re: Albertaceratops (simpson's bi-annual b*tch about dino naming)

By the way, the -o- does not indicate masculinity in Latin. You'd
expect _Abertosaurus_ regardless of whether it was named for an Albert or an Alberta.

If it was named after Alberta rather than Albert, wouldn't the etymologically correct name be "Albertosaura" or "Albertasaura"?
