Congratulations to Dr David Norman (Fellow) and Matthew Baron (PhD student) who are authors of some exciting new research which looks to overturn the current theory about the evolutionary history of dinosaurs and the family groups used to classify them. The team have concluded that these long-accepted familial groupings may be wrong and that the traditional names need to be completely altered.
The discovery is to feature on the front cover of the latest issue of 'Nature' which comes out later this week.
