While in Malawi, he and his team discovered hundreds of fossils and the 
remains of a new dinosaur, which he christened, the Malawisaurus

Thank you for an interesting, useful site. I recommend it to teachers who 
continue to contact me after 6 years of retirement. I also volunteer at the 
local science museum and recommend your site to the many children who visit 
it.
