[edit] Named after H.

Jack Horner has several dinosaurs named after him.

Worth adding at the end of the article, if you know which ones! --Wetman 03:17, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dyslexia

The passing mention of dyslexia has been recently suppressed by Anon. User 69.145.242.224. If Horner does suffer from dyslexia, with all his record, it is a disservice to dyslexics to suppress mention of it. Unless it was misfounded in the first place.--Wetman 04:12, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

69.145.242.224 didn't remove the comment on dyslexia, but she did remove the comment about his medicore academic record. Since he apparently couldn't get a job in paleontology until the discovery of the Maiasaura, that's probably worth clarifying at some point. 68.81.231.127 13:58, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This is Jack Horner, and just for the record, my first job in paleontology was at Princeton University in 1975, three years prior to the discovery of Maiasaura. I was diagnosed dyslectic while at Princeton University. Achelousaurus horneri is a dinosaur I found that was named for me by Scott Sampson.

[edit] "...this country"

"he is one of the most well known paleontologists in this country"

Nope, this is not Wiki material. I presume it is intended to mean the United States, but I won't change it as I'm not an American and can't be sure. Jamandell (d69) 00:01, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
