Re: paleontologists

[John Schneiderman <dino@revelation.unomaha.edu>]

Let's see (these are my favorites):

Roy Chapman Andrews  (explorer...aka: Indiana Jones)
Roland T. Bird  (dino-hunter on motorcycle)
Barnum Brown  (started the "dinosaur rush" in Alberta)
Philip J. Currie  (theropod expert)
Dong Zhiming  (Chinese dinosaur galore)
John R. Horner  (baby dinosaurs)
James A. Jensen  (great big dinosaurs)
Franz Baron Nopcsa  (brilliant and nutty)
Halszka Osmolska  (Mongolian dinosaurs)
John H. Ostrom  (warm blooded dinosaurs)
Gregory S. Paul  (fantastic dinosaur reconstructions)
Dale A. Russell  (dinosauroids)

and the winner is: John H. Ostrom
