Fossils of this theropod were found in northern Kyushu Island, Japan. The type species is W. satoi . Wakinosaurus was named by Okazaki in 1992 .

83. The Dinosauria of the archosaurs, a group that includes crocodiles and birds, whereas mammothsand mastodons A current update of dominant thinking in dinosaur paleontology. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/diapsids/dinosaur.html

Michael Skrepnick The Dinosauria: Truth is Stranger than Fiction Dinosaurs occupy a vaunted niche in the public mind; the very word conjures up images of gargantuan, now-defunct beasts that ruled the Earth long ago, holding a reign of terror for some 160 million years, and then mysteriously vanishing with only their titanic bones as evidence of their existence. "Dinosaur" reaches deep into our psyche and drags out nightmares from culturally-embedded monster myths. What is the truth about dinosaurs that underlies the popular awe and mystique that shrouds them? What does modern science have to say about the dinosaurs? Are they truly obsolete, long-extinct relics of a more primitive and experimental stage in the history of life, or is there more to the Dinosauria than meets the eye? Dinosaurs are animals that evolved into many sizes and shapes. Dinosaurs were and are quite diverse, and often one person will think of an animal like a long-necked sauropod, while another person will think of a large, fierce meat-eater like Tyrannosaurus rex . It should be clear then that the term "dinosaurs", or the scientific version "Dinosauria", is describing a diverse group of animals with widely different modes of living. The term was invented by

84. Georges Cuvier African and Indian elephants were distinct species, but that the fossil mammothsof Europe With these studies, Cuvier launched modern vertebrate paleontology. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/history/cuvier.html

Georges Cuvier (1769-1832) "Why has not anyone seen that fossils alone gave birth to a theory about the formation of the earth, that without them, no one would have ever dreamed that there were successive epochs in the formation of the globe." Georges Cuvier, Discourse on the Revolutions of the Surface of the Globe Without a doubt, Georges Cuvier possessed one of the finest minds in history. Almost single-handedly, he founded vertebrate paleontology as a scientific discipline and created the comparative method of organismal biology, an incredibly powerful tool. It was Cuvier who firmly established the fact of the extinction of past lifeforms. He contributed an immense amount of research in vertebrate and invertebrate zoology and paleontology, and also wrote and lectured on the history of science. Biography of Cuvier Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire Cuvier's Scientific Thought Cuvier saw organisms as integrated wholes, in which each part's form and function were integrated into the entire body. No part could be modified without impairing this functional integration: . .. the component parts of each must be so arranged as to render possible the whole living being, not only with regard to itself, but to its surrounding relations, and the analysis of these conditions frequently leads to general laws, as demonstrable as those which are derived from calculation or experiment.

Fossil Dogs, Vanished Lives Occasionally on a moonlit night in San Diego's winter season, I recall a scene from the movie Dr. Zhivago . Eerie howling wolves circle the snowbound dacha . With a perverse paleontologist's imagination, I substitute American wolves for Boris Pasternack's Russian wolves. But not the ordinary gray wolf. I use Dire Wolves. Dire Wolves are perhaps the best known of all the fossil dogs from North America. Sturdier and larger than modern wolves, unfortunately they disappeared along with mammoths and mastodons by about 12,000 years ago, just about the time humans arrived in North America. Recent investigations of human habitation sites in Mexico, Peru, and Bolivia indicate that domestic dogs were already living with humans by around 12,000 years ago, and that these dogs probably arrived in North America from Eurasia as did humans. Actually, the domestic dogs' arrival in North America was merely a homecoming, since all dogs in the world can trace their ancestry back to North America. For the last 37 million years some 140 species of dogs thrived and died here, giving rise at various times to emigrant dogs that populated the rest of the world. Today's wolf-like dogs (the Red and Gray Wolves, various jackals, the Bush Dog of Brazil, the African hunting dog, and the Asian dhole) all descend from

And it's a loooong book.) A necessary first biography (In the sense that it sets out the chronology of a life, but in no way sufficiently addresses any one of Walcott's multiplicity of interests. This biography is data for other biographers, historians and historians of science to use for reference.) Unfulfilling (In the sense that a casual fan of the Burgess Shale fossils will be unsatisfied with respect to the explication of their significance to science, and to the history of science.)
