I have read quotes that there are only a small number of people, like
less than 100, who are doing active research in, or digging up, new
dinosaurs (I think the Time article on dinosaurs last year said
something like that).  There are certainly more people that that who are
very knowledgeable about them, and fortunately this list has some of them.
