Meet the paleontologists who helped
Meet the paleontologists who helped create the Museum's new exhibition, "Pterosaurs: Flight in the Age of Dinosaurs," and learn about the latest cutting-edge technology that researchers are using to study pterosaurs, the flying reptiles that lived from about 220 and 66 million years ago.
Mark Norell, curator in the Museum's Division of Paleontology, and Alexander Kellner, Associate Professor at the Museu Nacional in Brazil, have led expeditions to the most remote areas of the planet. And yet, discovering bones that have been buried for millions of years is just one aspect of their job.
Paleontology has traditionally combined a number of disciplines, including earth history, geology and biology. Many paleontologists today spend more hours in computer labs than they do in the field. Michael Habib, a neurobiology professor at the University of Southern California who consulted on the exhibition, applies principles of engineering and biology to understand how pterosaurs might have flown and behaved.
