Nominator's project description
| Dr. Chiappe (Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, Los Angeles, USA) is an internationally outstanding specialist on dinosaurs and fossil birds. Many of his research activities resulted in new and important contributions to the origin and early evolution of birds and the biology of dinosaurs, based on his excavations in Argentina, USA, Madagscar, Mongolia and China. In cooperation with paleontologists in Munich he will study a new, small raptorial dinosaur from the Jurassic of Bavaria, and investigate the relationships of Archaeopteryx with primitive birds from China and Madagascar. |
