Talk:Jack Horner (paleontologist)

message: Jack Horner has several dinosaurs named after him.
:Worth adding at the end of the article, if you know which ones! --Wetman 03:17, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Named after H. 

message: The article notes that Horner served in the Marine Corps, and then with Special Forces. I don't know of Horner's military background, but "Special Forces" generally means Army Green Berets. The USMC didn't have a dedicated special forces branch at the time (though they did have Amphibious Recon units, which were considered extra-elite in the Corps), and while I suppose it could be possible, I've never heard of a Green Beret unit that was composed of members from other services. I'd suggest that this section deserves a little more research and detail.

message: "he is one of the most well known paleontologists in this country"
Nope, this is not Wiki material.  I presume it is intended to mean the United States, but I won't change it as I'm not an American and can't be sure. Jamandell (d69) 00:01, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "...this country" 

message: Horner dropped out of College. His mind was always
different from other students. He wrote, sometimes,
backwards. He was the frist person to discover, with his
friend Bob, the first person to find a North American dinosaur
nest after a person in Montana showed them baby dino eggs.
Jack and Bob went to the location where the person found the
bones and they found the nest!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.64.78.59 (talk) 00:44, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jack Horner facts 

message: The names "John Horner" and "Jack Horner" appear to be used interchangeably both on this article and elsewhere. That needs explanation.

replies: text: Maybe. I would have thought it was commonly known that "Jack" is a nickname form of John. Dinoguy2 (talk) 15:56, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: jezebel sources to the Bozeman Magpie (), which may be a local paper, but damned if I can tell from its "About Us" page.  FWIW, the article already includes the marriage, sourcing to the BM. TJRC (talk) 19:03, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Apparently he just got married 

message: Could it be mentioned that this paleontologist had authored at least two very controversial ideas, concerning T. rex dietary habits (carrion specialist) and the ongoing 'Triceratops species war' ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.128.96.34 (talk) 11:32, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  controversial hypotheses 

message: Will wait for more sources to confirm, but just a heads-up. Help in finding additional reliable sources appreciated.
