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 ...
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.
It was named and described in 2004 by Paul Sereno, Jeffery Wilson and Jack Conrad. Rugops has an estimated length of 4.4–5.3 metres (14–17 ft) and weight of 410 kilograms (900 lb). The top of its skull bears several pits which correlates with overlaying scale and the front of the snout would have had an armour-like dermis.
A complete Herrerasaurus skull was found in 1988, by a team of paleontologists led by Paul Sereno. [4] Based on the new fossils, authors such as Thomas Holtz [ 27 ] and José Bonaparte [ 28 ] classified Herrerasaurus at the base of the saurischian tree before the divergence between prosauropods and theropods.

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.
