Show PostYes. As a consequence, we seem to be headed back to the bad old days of dinosaur taxonomy, where every isolated scrap gets a name. This is causing a vast proliferation of genera based on indeterminate and fragmentary material that overwhelmes phylogenetic analyses with missing data (1/2)
Show PostTyrannosaurus rex was named 120 years ago today on 4th October, 1905. I would do things a little differently now, but this drawing is from 2020.
