Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Genus
  • Cretaceous

Paleontology, Zoology, Theropoda, Coelurosauria and Paraves are his primary areas of study. His Paleontology and Taxon and Cretaceous investigations all form part of his Paleontology research activities. The Avialae research Mark A. Norell does as part of his general Zoology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Context, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His Theropoda research includes elements of Postcrania and Nest. His Paraves study combines topics in areas such as Evolution of birds, Microraptor, Monophyly and Dromaeosauridae. His studies in Dromaeosauridae integrate themes in fields like Genealogy and Anatomy.

His most cited work include:

  • Two feathered dinosaurs from northeastern China (462 citations)
  • A Basal Dromaeosaurid and Size Evolution Preceding Avian Flight (253 citations)
  • Gigantism and comparative life-history parameters of tyrannosaurid dinosaurs (227 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Mark A. Norell mainly focuses on Paleontology, Cretaceous, Zoology, Theropoda and Anatomy. His Paleontology research incorporates elements of Sister group, Holotype and Fauna. Mark A. Norell interconnects Ecology and Archaeology in the investigation of issues within Cretaceous.

His research integrates issues of Clade, Monophyly and Feathered dinosaur in his study of Zoology. His Theropoda research incorporates themes from Osteology and Coelurosauria. His work deals with themes such as Autapomorphy and Postcrania, which intersect with Anatomy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (34.64%)
  • Cretaceous (28.01%)
  • Zoology (23.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Archaeology (17.17%)
  • Evolutionary biology (12.05%)
  • Cretaceous (28.01%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Archaeology, Evolutionary biology, Cretaceous, Morrison Formation and Paleontology. His work carried out in the field of Archaeology brings together such families of science as Natural history, Psittacosaurus and Nest. His research on Evolutionary biology also deals with topics like

  • Endocast which connect with Theropoda, Deep history, Comparative biology and Clade,
  • Allometry which intersects with area such as Lobe.

Mark A. Norell has included themes like Osteology, Skull and Anatomy in his Cretaceous study. His study in Range, Fossa, Taxon, Sedimentary depositional environment and Fossil Record falls under the purview of Paleontology. The Archosaur study which covers Coelophysis bauri that intersects with Zoology.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Fossilization transforms vertebrate hard tissue proteins into N-heterocyclic polymers. (40 citations)
  • Dinosaur egg colour had a single evolutionary origin (30 citations)
  • Evolutionary Integration and Modularity in the Archosaur Cranium. (19 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Genus
  • Paleontology
  • Cretaceous

Mark A. Norell spends much of his time researching Zoology, Evolutionary biology, Cretaceous, Eggshell and Endocast. The concepts of his Zoology study are interwoven with issues in Taxon, Protoceratops and Ultrastructure. He combines subjects such as Skull, Evolution of birds and Archosaur with his study of Evolutionary biology.

Mark A. Norell merges Cretaceous with Organic molecules in his study. His Eggshell research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Jiufotang Formation, Medullary cavity and Bone tissue. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Neuroanatomy, Ontogeny and Alligator.
