How to become a palaeontologist

Dr Susie Maidment shares what it's like to be a dinosaur researcher, how she got into this career and advice for budding palaeontologists.

Hands up if you were a kid (like me!) who told people that you wanted to be a paleontologist when you grew up.

A new study posits that our old way of reconstructing the skull roof of dinosaurs is incorrect. The dinosaurs, especially those with the biggest holes within their skulls, had a network of blood vessels and lumps of fatty tissue which helped them to release and gain heat as needed, just like their modern crocodilian cousins. __________________________________________________________________ Check out our merchandise stores, or else… ...we’ll feed you to a Tyrannosaur…

Listen I don’t care what comes out from researching t-Rex and it’s color, I don’t care if we find out what color it was through DNA analysis or bringing it back Jurassic Park style or whatever, t-Rex will always be bright pink and fluffy af in my mind and act like a giant reptilian puppy dog.

Friendly reminder that velociraptors had feathers and were only about three feet tall. After seeing a claim that their vision was similar to that of modern owls, however, I offer the possibility that they could see infrared to comfort anyone who is heartbroken about this.

Additional notes: most if not all theropods had feathers, though apparently the larger ones may only have had them as juveniles. As a matter of fact, theropods by and large appear to have been pretty much birds, which leaves us to speculate about their songs/loud obnoxious calls, plumage coloration, and flock behaviors. Imagine T. Rex cawing hoarsely before launching into its complex mating dance. You’re welcome.

The Complete Dinosaur

While the inhabitants of the lost world have long held sway over our imaginations, in recent years dinosaur science has experienced an explosive growth. More books on dinosaurs have been published in the past decade than in all the previous 150 years since Richard Owen named these "fearfully great lizards," and dinosaur research continues to make headlines. Reporting the latest discoveries and research, this book is an exuberant celebration of dinosaurs and of our ongoing fascination with them. Here, The Complete Dinosaur in one volume, is the single, most-authoritative account of dinosaur paleontology for the general reader, illustrated with 350 drawings and black-and-white photos and 16 pages of color plates. More than 350 illustrations, including 16 pages in full color Each chapter written by an expert in dinosaur studies Includes the latest dinosaur discoveries New information on the warm-blooded/cold-blooded debate New insights on the possibility of isolating dinosaur DNA What dinosaurs ate--and how we know about it Dinosaurs in the media A time-line of the history of dinosaur science And much, much more!
