	Jack Horner
		Jack Horner, one of the America's best-known paleontologists, discovered his first dinosaur fossil when he was eight years old.
		Jack Horner refers to many common dinosaurs as the "cows of the Mesozoic" (era, that is) because he believes they travelled in herds.
		Jack Horner currently serves as the curator of paleontology at Montana's Museum of the Rockies at Montana State University at Bozeman, where he also teaches.

		Jack Horner, of the Museum of the Rockies, is one of the more familiar figures in dinosaur paleontology.
		Horner has also vociferously argued for endothermy in Dinosauria based on his research.
		Unfortunately, Horner is now more recognizable for his pontifications on the ecology of tyrannosaurids, and his notorious hypothesis that Tyrannosaurus rex was a consumate scavenger, and not the archetypical predator.

	Paleontologists find 67 dinosaurs in one week
		Montana State University paleontologist Jack Horner said Wednesday that the same area yielded 30 skeletons last year, so researchers at MSU and Mongolia's Science and Technology University now have about 100 Psittacosaurus skeletons.
		Horner and his group left near the end of August for Mongolia.
		Horner added that he will be able to study some of the fossils in Montana, but they will be returned to Mongolia.

		Horner - who discovered the first dinosaur eggs in the Western Hemisphere and was director Steven Spielberg's technical adviser for the films "Jurassic Park" and "The Lost World" - explained his theories of science and dinosaurs.
		Horner said it is a myth that T-Rexes were killers.
		Many of the features that are most commonly associated with birds, such as the ability to bend their wings and the instinct to sit on their unhatched eggs, are characteristics that probably formed first in dinosaurs, he said.

	CNN.com - Jack Horner knows his dinosaurs - Sep 6, 2006
		Horner found the 75 million-year-old fossilized baby skeletons in Egg Mountain, Montana, in the remains of dinosaur nests.
		Horner is perhaps most famous for his 1978 discovery of the dinosaur he named Maiasaura, which roamed what is now Montana at the end of the Cretaceous Period, about 77 million years ago.
		Horner says he likes all dinosaurs, and doesn't have a favorite but seems to have a soft spot for duck-billed dinosaurs, for his first fossil find as a boy, and for T-rex.

		Paleontologist Jack Horner answers questions from the audience during his speech "Digging Dinosaurs" in the Center for Performing Arts.
		Jack Horner, the man after whom the paleontologist in "Jurassic Park" was modeled, told the crowd at the Center for the Performing Arts that in "Jurasic Park," dinosaurs were cloned from mosquitoes, but that is not scientifically possible.
		Horner said he thinks discovering how many dinosaurs cared for their young is one of the most important discoveries today.

	DARWINISM-WATCH.com - Responding Evolutionist Propaganda in the Media
		A paleontologist called Jack Horner, from the Rockies Museum in the state of Montana in the United States, suggested that rather than hunting its prey down, T. Rex actually ate the bodies of other dead animals.
		Based on these features, Horner maintained that T. Rex lacked the ability to chase down and seize its prey, for which reason it needed to be thought of as a scavenger.
		Yet that paleontologist will have no grounds for claiming that “The Scandinavians evolved from the Chinese.” That, in turn, is because the fact that Scandinavians have longer legs than the Chinese does not indicate any evolution.

		If paleontologist Jack Horner discovers a new dinosaur, you'll be right there with him.
		One of the world's most famous dinosaur finders, he's got a reputation even among fellow researchers and his graduate students (who are younger and presumably have better eyes) for his ability to spot dinosaurs and fossilized bones where others see only a maze of textures in the dust.
		Horner attributes his success mostly to hard work, and, in truth, he does spend very long days scouting in this vast wilderness in the only way feasible: walking, mile after mile, poking around in the dirt through a land that would leave most of us hopelessly lost within minutes.

		Horner has demonstrated that some dinosaurs were nurturing parents, raising their young in large nesting colonies and bringing their offspring berries and green vegetation, much as do birds.
		Horner believes it followed herds of triceratops, scavenging carcasses and occasionally preying on weak individuals, much as hyenas follow wildebeests in Africa.

		This summer, while working in remote areas in Montana, a large team led by paleontologist Jack Horner of the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana, discovered five of these giant carnivores--a record number for a single field season.
		Although the fossils have not been completely excavated, preliminary studies suggest they are relatively complete; some, in fact, appear to retain 30% of their bones.
		Horner attributes the team's success to selecting relatively unstudied areas of Garfield County, Montana.

	New Findings Expose T. Rex Secrets [Free Republic]
		Paleontologist Jack Horner announced today that his team has discovered the remains of three Tyrannosaurus rex — including an immature specimen dubbed "B-rex" from two million years before the end of the age of dinosaurs.
		B-rex was excavated from a cliff at Hell Creek, Mont., some 300 feet below the KT boundary layer — which is marked by iridium left by the space-borne catastrophe.
		And while that's grand, he said, it's also strange because they are not finding the expected proportions of other dinos — the meat to support T. rex's carnivorous lifestyle, in other words.
