Re: New dinosaur type unearthed in Brazil
Thu, September 7, 2006 - 5:45 AMRe: new dinosaur types:
Reading in New Scientist today that Steve Wang, a statistician from Swarthmore Uni, Pennsylvania & Peter Dodson, a palaeontologist from Uni of Philadelphia, have used mathematical modelling to estimate the total number of dinosaur genera, and have come up with a figure of approx 1850 genera (of which 527 genera that have been described). That should perk up those of you who are perparingto go out on a dig.
