So, I'm organizing an upcoming event. Myself and a few other members will be doing research on some of the most influential people in paleontology. But I don't mean the current guys like Horner or Larson, I mean the "originals." Here's the lineup...

Myself- Andrew Carnegie

Lord of the Spinosaurus- Ernst Stromer

Carnosaur- Henry Fairfield Osborn

Sci-Fi King- Edward Drinker Cope

Mr.Happy(?)- Barnum Brown

I do need two people to volunteer to take on Othniel Charles Marsh and Charles R. Knight.

Rex Fan, out

This sounds very interesting, but may I have a bit more information? E.g. for what purpose should we collect information and will we make a presentation or something?

Yeah, at some point(when everything is gathered), we'll post about it one at a time. Just try and give all the other members a better understanding of the, as I put it earlier, "originals."

I can take Charles R. Knight, if you want me too. But if Mr. Happy doesn't take Barnum Brown, I will. Sounds exciting!

Alrighty then. Looks like Gojira has Knight(assuming Happy doesn't take Brown) and TK has Marsh.

Hope everyone enjoys the event.

Happy researching :)

Dang I should check the site more often since I was going to be Marsh.

Mind if I join in and take Roy Chapman Andrews

Mr. Happy has informed me that he will not be able to participate. So, who wants Barnum Brown?
