Arbour primarily studies dinosaurs in the group Ankylosauria, including biomechanical analyses of tail clubs. [4] [16] Arbour has studied microfossils from Nova Scotia. [9] She has also named the possible pterosaur Gwawinapterus from Hornby Island, and a partial ornithischian dinosaur from Sustut Basin, both locations in British Columbia. [9]
John Harold Ostrom (February 18, 1928 – July 16, 2005) was an American paleontologist who revolutionized the modern understanding of dinosaurs. [1] Ostrom's work inspired what his pupil Robert T. Bakker has termed a "dinosaur renaissance".
Robert Thomas Bakker (born March 24, 1945) is an American paleontologist who helped reshape modern theories about dinosaurs, particularly by adding support to the theory that some dinosaurs were endothermic (warm-blooded). [2]
Paleontology (/ ˌ p eɪ l i ɒ n ˈ t ɒ l ə dʒ i, ˌ p æ l i-,-ən-/ PAY-lee-on-TOL-ə-jee, PAL-ee-, -ən-), also spelled palaeontology [a] or palæontology, is the scientific study of life that existed prior to the start of the Holocene epoch (roughly 11,700 years before present).
Dinosaur fans who responded to the museum's request for input overwhelmingly chose to call the Natural History Museum's new 70-foot-long sauropod 'Gnatalie.'
"The 2023 study assumed a 100% fill in dinosaurs such as T. rex, and that was certainly not the case," Caspar added. It is unknown how densely packed the neurons were in dinosaur brains, Caspar said.
Based on fossils from 1,000 dinosaur species and paleoclimate information, the new study looked at the spread of dinosaurs across different environments on Earth throughout the dinosaur era, which ...
Within the paleontological community, Horner is best known for his work on dinosaur growth research. He has published numerous articles in collaboration with Berkeley paleontologist Kevin Padian, and French dinosaur histologist Armand de Ricqlès, on the growth of dinosaurs using growth series. This usually involves leg bones in graduated sizes ...
