Why Is Andrea Cau Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Andrea Cau is an Italian vertebrate paleontologist. He specializes in the study of dinosaur cladistics. Cau named the unique dromaeosaurid theropod, Halszkaraptor in 2017. He also reanalyzed the theropod Balaur, placing it as a basal avialan rather than a dromaeosaur.
