Paul Sereno Paleontologist

New fossils of the huge Cretaceous-era predator, Spinosaurus, reveal it adapted to life in water some 95 million years ago, providing the most compelling evidence to date of a dinosaur able to live and hunt in an aquatic environment. An international team based at the University of Chicago built a CT-based digital model of the 50-foot long dinosaur to understand its anatomy and capabilities.

Sereno kicks off the Festival's Hyde Park Day with an illustrated discussion of the latest findings in his field, in a program appropriate for both children and adults.

Paul Sereno participates in Google Science Fair 2013 in a Hangout On Air answering questions about his discoveries and what it is like to be a paleontologist.
