About the Author

Realizing he could not grow up to be a dinosaur, Dr. Thomas R. Holtz, Jr. did the next best thing and became a vertebrate paleontologist. His specialty is Tyrannosaurus rex, and his work on carnivorous dinosaurs has become the standard in several textbooks. In addition to his many scientific papers, he has been involved in the making of several documentaries, including WALKING WITH DINOSAURS and WHEN DINOSAURS ROAMED AMERICA for the Discovery Channel. Dr. Holtz is a lecturer in the Geology Department at the University of Maryland, College Park.

As a child, Dr. Michael Brett-Surman was deeply affected by seeing the skeleton of Tyrannosaurus rex at the American Museum of Natural History. He was so affected, in fact, that he went on to name 3 new dinosaurs for science--plus a mesozoic bird! Dr. Brett-Surman is the Museum Specialist for Dinosaurs at the Smithsonian Institution, and a professor in the Geology Department at George Washington University.
