Matt Lamanna is a paleontologist and the assistant curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, where he oversees the dinosaur collection.
Lamanna first gained fame for the 2000 discovery of ?Paralititan? in Egypt, called the “largest dinosaur ever discovered”. Beginning in 2004, Lamanna began work on a series of digs in China. The result, first published in the journal ?Science? in June 2006, was the discovery of ?Gansus yumenensis?, a missing link in the early evolution of birds.
