If I want to look for dinosaur fossils, then I would, in the North American continent, I would probably go to places such as South Dakota or Montana or Wyoming or Colorado or Utah. These are very fossiliferous regions where we find dinosaurs.

So nowadays, you know, there was a couple, an odd couple, if I may say so, of two scientists, American scientists, and they were looking for... dinosaur fossils in the 1870s when the midwest was still the wild west and Over time, they became rivals and they were actually fighting each other and they were trying to out-compete each other and they were trying to find more fossils than their rival.

But nowadays, it's not about finding new fossils and new dinosaurs and creating new records. That is also nice. It's a side effect. But today, we want to understand how did they live? How did they eat? How did they procreate?

um how did they uh survive certain catastrophes and were they able to to breathe actively did they have a metabolic rate that's comparable to to birds today or more like crocodiles because dinosaurs are closely related to both birds and crocodiles so we want to know are they more like crocodiles or are they more like birds and then we find dinosaurs with feathers and then we want to know okay so who is the first

dinosaur to evolve feathers and and which group of dinosaurs evolve these feathers and are these feathers capable of powered flight like we have in in most birds today or were they just uh for display for sexual display to to attract mates so so feathers have a lot of functions and it's not only for flight

so for me um i always want to find a dinosaur fossil that will help us explain a certain aspect of the dinosaur anatomy or the dinosaur biology we want to understand for example why

the birds were able to survive this mass extinction event and all the others died out there was actually a group of of dinosaurs that was very similar to to the birds and we call them the an antonythines and that means In English, that translates to something like the opposite birds. So they were very much like birds. They could fly. They had feathers. They lived in trees. They laid eggs.
