Originally Published 2 years ago — by WANE
Paleontologists in Brazil have discovered a new dinosaur fossil and named it "Farlowichnus rapidus" after James Farlow, an emeritus professor of geology and adjunct professor of biology at Purdue University Fort Wayne. Farlow, who collaborated with one of the paleontologists on a book in the 1980s, expressed his appreciation for the recognition, stating that it is common for colleagues to name fossils after individuals they want to honor.
