Dinosaur fossils reveal evolution's big picture, says Paul Sereno Washington, DC - Dinosaur fossils are providing the answers to some of scientists' biggest questions about evolution, according to paleontologist Paul Sereno, who has assembled the most up-to-date picture yet of dinosaur evolution in the 25 June 1999 issue of Science

In fall 1997, paleontologist Paul Sereno from the University of Chicago, led an expedition to explore a remote part of the Sahara, Niger’s Ténéré Desert. Fossils from this area provide evidence of the plants and animals that thrived in Africa a hundred million years ago. Sereno’s team scoured the desert in temperatures that reached 120°F (48.8°C) and unearthed 25 tons of bone—including the remains of a new long-snouted, big-clawed, fish-eating dinosaur they named Suchomimus, the “crocodile mimic.”

Expeditions (by date and location) 1988 - Argentina - discovery of the Skeleton of Herrerasaurus, an early preditory dinosaur 1988 Expedition to Argentina It's nice to start out with a bang. Herrerasaurus skull and skeletons new mammal-like reptiles 1990 - Niger - Dr. Sereno excavating a fossilized sauropod Niger 1990 A visit to the sauropod graveyard I and one assistant joined several English colleagues on an Expedition across the Sahara to Cretaceous beds in Niger. 1991 - Argentina - We had only just re-opened the door on early dinosaurs and their world with the 1988 expedition. The Ischigualasto valley streched some 75 miles in length, and much of it we had yet to visit 1993 - Niger - The 1993 expedition returned to the sauropod graveyard Dr. Sereno discovered on his trip to Niger in 1990. The team flew from Chicago to London, loaded their trucks with equipment which had been 1995 - Morocco - "One of the most physically demanding expeditions I have ever been on." 1997 - Niger - The 1997 expedition to Niger was very successful for Dr. Sereno and his team. Two new dinosaur species were recovered and brought back to Chicago: Suchomimus and a new sauropod to be announced in November, 1999.
