Biography

Canadian scientist, curator of dinosaur research at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology in Alberta, an internationally renowned society. On 6/23/1998, he spoke to the media at a press conference of his findings of several fossils, dated at 120 million to 136 million years ago, that are absolute proof that birds evolved from dinosaurs, a theory that has been hotly contested for more than 20 years. Both fossils were removed from a dry lake bed in the northeast China but Chinese scientists, an area rich in deposits of dinosaur remains. Evolutionary biologist Alan Feduccia, contests the conclusion, remarking that the dates are still unresolved and that they could be feathered dinosaurs.
