Dinosaur fossil record compiled, analyzed

Julia Heathcote, graduate student in earth and planetary sciences in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, has combed the dinosaur fossil record from T. Rex to songbirds and has compiled the first quantitative analysis of the quality and congruence of that record. She calls the record, known as the Dinosauria, "moderately good," and says her results indicate that there might be 500 or more dinosaurs yet to be discovered.
