Paul Callistus Sereno (born October 11, 1957) is a professor of paleontology at the University of Chicago who has discovered several new dinosaur species on several continents, including at sites in Inner Mongolia, Argentina, Morocco and Niger. [1]
According to Sereno, "Their crania are long, high and narrow, and their faces are taller with considerable alveolar prognathism". [1] This was a nomadic herding culture. Artifacts found in association include bones and tusks from fauna, projectile points, ceramics, ivory, bone and shell ornaments.
Paul Sereno, the longtime University of Chicago professor and so-called Indiana Jones of paleontology, a finder of lost civilizations and discoverer of new dinosaurs, one of the most beautiful ...
Wilson was also involved in the discovery and description of Pabwehshi pakistanensis, the first discovery of decent (diagnostic) Cretaceous crocodylian fossil remains from the Indian subcontinent, in the discovery of Rajasaurus narmadensis, the most completely known theropod dinosaur from India and a member of the family Abelisauridae ...
Novas defined the family as the least common ancestor of Herrerasaurus and Staurikosaurus and all its descendants. [21] A differing definition of Herrerasauridae as the most inclusive clade including Herrerasaurus but not Passer domesticus was first suggested by Sereno (1998), and more closely follows the original inclusion proposed by ...
Paul Sereno and Zhao went on a dinosaur fossil hunt in 2005 to Tibet to look for a site that Zhao had found 27 years prior. Before this hunt, in 2001, they had been engaged in a dig in the Gobi Desert.
It was named and described by paleontologist Paul Sereno and colleagues in 1998, based on a partial skeleton from the Elrhaz Formation. Suchomimus's long and shallow skull, similar to that of a crocodile, earns it its generic name, while the specific name Suchomimus tenerensis alludes to the locality of its first remains, the Ténéré Desert.
Size compared to a human. In 2010, Paul gave Rugops an estimated length of 6 metres (20 ft) and weight of 750 kilograms (1,650 lb). [9] However, Grillo & Delcourt (2016) gave a lower estimate of 4.4 metres (14 ft) long while Molina-Pérez & Larramendi (2016) gave an estimate of 5.3 metres (17 ft) long and 410 kilograms (900 lb) in weight.
