Why Is Werner Janensch Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Werner Ernst Martin Janensch was a German paleontologist and geologist. Biography Janensch was born at Herzberg . In addition to Friedrich von Huene, Janensch was probably Germany's most important dinosaur specialist from the early and middle twentieth century. His most famous and significant contributions stemmed from the expedition undertaken to the Tendaguru Beds in what is now Tanzania. As leader of an expedition set up by the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin, where he worked as a curator, Janensch helped uncover an enormous quantity of fossils of late Jurassic period dinosaurs, including several complete Brachiosaurus skeletons, then the largest animal ever known. During his long subsequent career , Janensch named several new dinosaur taxa including Dicraeosaurus and Elaphrosaurus . Janensch's Brachiosaurus were later determined to belong to a distinct, related genus, Giraffatitan.
