Philip J. Currie

January 28, 2023

Philip John Currie AOE FRSC (born March 13, 1949) is a Canadian palaeontologist and museum curator who helped found the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in Drumheller, Alberta and is now a professor at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. In the 1980s, he became the director of the Canada-China Dinosaur Project, the first cooperative palaeontological partnering between China and the West since the Central Asiatic Expeditions in the 1920s, and helped describe some of the first feathered dinosaurs.[1][2] He is one of the primary editors of the influential Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs,[3] and his areas of expertise include theropods (especially Tyrannosauridae), the origin of birds, and dinosaurian migration patterns and herding behavior.[4] He was one of the models for palaeontologist Alan Grant in the film Jurassic Park.[5]

Biography

Currie received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Toronto in 1972, a Master of Science degree from McGill University in 1975, and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in biology (with distinction) from the same institution in 1981.[6] His master's and PhD theses were on synapsids and early aquatic diapsids respectively.[2]

Currie became curator of earth science at the Provincial Museum of Alberta in Edmonton in 1976 just as he began the PhD program. Within three seasons he had so much success at fieldwork that the province began planning a larger museum to hold the collection. The collection became part of the Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology, which was completed in 1985,[2] and Currie was appointed curator of dinosaurs.[1]

In 1986, Currie became the co-director of the joint Canada-China Dinosaur Project, with Dale Russell of the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa and Dong Zhiming of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing.[2]

Contributions to palaeontology

Over the last 25 years[when?] he has worked on fossil discovery in Mongolia, Argentina, Antarctica, Dinosaur Provincial Park, Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park, and many other locations.

His contributions to palaeontology include synonymising the genera Troodon and Stenonychosaurus in 1987 (with the former name taking precedence)[7] and later reversing this in 2017.[8] He has also synonymised the ceratopsian taxon Rubeosaurus with Styracosaurus, the latter being the valid, senior synonym.[9]

One of Currie's main interests has been the evolutionary link between modern birds and non-avian dinosaurs. The similarities between troodontids and birds in particular made him a major proponent of the theory that birds are descended from dinosaurs,[5] as did his finding that tyrannosaurids, along with many other non-avian theropod lineages, possessed furculae, a trait previously believed to be exclusive to birds and absent from non-avian dinosaurs.[10] As part of the joint China-Canada Dinosaur Project, he helped describe two of the first dinosaur specimens from the lagerstätten of the Liaoning in China that clearly showed feather impressions: Protarchaeopteryx[11][12] and Caudipteryx.[12] In contrast with the 1996 discovery of Sinosauropteryx, which only showed the impression of downy filaments, these were indisputably feathers.[5] This not only helped cement the theory that birds are descended from dinosaurs, but indicated that many dromaeosaurids were feathered.[13] He was later featured in numerous popular articles and documentaries.[citation needed]

In 1997, Currie teamed up with Microsoft's Chief Technical Officer Nathan Myhrvold to create a computer model demonstrating that diplodocids could snap their tails like whips, and create small sonic booms.[14] He was involved in exposing a composite specimen that had been the subject of the 1999 National Geographic "Archeoraptor" scandal.[15]

Currie became increasingly sceptical of the orthodox belief that large carnivorous dinosaurs were solitary animals, but there was no evidence for his hypothesis that they may have hunted in packs. However, circumstantial evidence came when he tracked down a site mentioned by Barnum Brown that featured 12 specimens of Albertosaurus from various age groups.[16][17] Currie was also involved in the discovery of a bonebed which evidenced gregarious behaviour in the caenagnathoid Avimimus.[18]

Currie has made important contributions to the study of phylogenetics. He contributed to a comprehensive revision of the phylogenetic relationships of ankylosaurid species in 2015.[19] He also reassessed the phylogenetic status of Nipponosaurus sachalinensis, discovering that it was much more basal among the Lambeosaurinae than palaeontologists had previously thought.[20]

Currie has published multiple papers on the cranial anatomy of various dinosaurs. Together with Rodolfo Coria, he published a detailed description of the braincase of the large carcharodontosaurid Giganotosaurus carolinii in 2003, which led him to believe that Giganotosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus were very closely related genera.[21] In 2017, he and Ariana Paulina-Carabajal wrote a paper on the anatomy of the well-preserved braincase of Murusraptor barrosaensis, finding it to be more similar to tyrannosaurids than to allosaurids or ceratosaurids.[22] A year later, he coauthored a study detailing the endocranial morphology of the ankylosaurines Talarurus plicatospineus and Tarchia teresae.[23] In 2019, together with David Christopher Evans, Currie described newly discovered cranial material of the dromaeosaurid Saurornitholestes langstoni and found the poorly known tooth taxon Zapsalis likely to represent the same taxon as Saurornitholestes.[24]

Currie's contributions to the study of dinosaur dentition include helping discover the first known instance of alveolar remodelling in dinosaurs[25] and revealing in a 2020 study that the dentition of Sinraptor bore extreme similarities to that of Allosaurus, further concluding that Sinraptor would likely have actively hunted medium-sized dinosaurs such as Jiangjunosaurus junggarensis.[26]

Currie has extensively studied the subject of juvenile dinosaurs and dinosaur ontogeny. His publications on the subject have included studies on juveniles of Chasmosaurus,[27] Pinacosaurus,[28] Daspletosaurus,[29] and Saurornithoides.[30]

In addition to his work on dinosaurs, Currie has been involved in numerous research projects on pterosaurs. In 2011 and 2016, he was involved in the description of the first pterosaur fossils from the Northumberland Formation, a part of the Nanaimo Group, of Hornby Island in British Columbia, finding that they probably represented indeterminate members of Istiodactylidae and Azhdarchidae, respectively.[31][32] In 2017, he assisted in the description of the first known pterosaur pelvic material from the Dinosaur Park Formation;[33] he has also helped study pterosaur material from the Cenomanian found in Lebanon.[34]

Currie helped rediscover the type localities of the Mongolian sauropods Nemegtosaurus mongoliensis and Opisthocoelicaudia skarzynskii in 2017; the location of both quarries had become unknown due to them being described several decades before and not having been studied for some time. The next year, he published a paper as the lead author in which he suggested the two taxa may represent the same species.[35]

Currie's research interests have included ichnofossils as well as body fossils. In 1979, at the beginning of his career, he and William A. S. Sarjeant described Amblydactylus kortmeyeri from the Peace River Valley.[36] In 1981, Currie authored in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology a description of the ichnospecies Aquatilavipes swiboldae from the Aptian Gething Formation of British Columbia.[37] He went on to work on dinosaur footprints from the St. Mary River Formation.[38] In 2004, he studied footprint assemblages from the Lance Formation and described the ichnospecies Saurexallopus zerbsti.[39] In 2018, Currie coauthored a study describing dinosaur footprints at the Nemegt locality.[40]

Over the course of his career, Currie has described dozens of new species of dinosaurs as well as other animals. In 1980, he named the tangasaurid species Acerosodontosaurus piveteaui based on a partial skull and partial skeleton found in Madagascar.[41] In 1993, he and Xi-Jin Zhao described Sinraptor dongi from the Shishugou Formation in Xinjiang.[42] He was involved in the China-Canada Dinosaur Project as part of the research which described Protarchaeopteryx robusta[11][12] and Caudipteryx zoui.[12] In 2000, he was part of a team describing the Mongolian oviraptorid Nomingia gobiensis.[43] In 2004, he was involved in the description of Atrociraptor marshalli.[44] In 2009, he contributed to the scientific paper describing Hesperonychus elizabethae, the first known microraptorine found in North America.[45] In 2012, Currie, along with David Christopher Evans and other colleagues, described the leptoceratopsids Gryphoceratops morrisoni and Unescoceratops koppelhusae from the Milk River Formation and Dinosaur Park Formation, respectively, of Alberta.[46] In 2013, he worked with David Christopher Evans and Derek W. Larson to study and name the velociraptorine dromaeosaurid Acheroraptor temertyorum,[47] and with Dong Zhiming and other palaeontologists to describe Nebulasaurus taito.[48] In 2014, he and Victoria Megan Arbour described the ankylosaurid Zaraapelta nomadis.[49] In 2015, Currie, as part of a team of twelve scientists, described Ischioceratops zhuchengensis from Shandong Province.[50] In 2016, he and Gregory Funston described Apatoraptor pennatus, a novel caenagnathid taxon from the Horseshoe Canyon Formation of Alberta.[51] In 2017, Currie helped describe Aepyornithomimus tugrikinensis, the first species of ornithomimosaur found in the Djadokhta Formation of Mongolia,[52] Halszkaraptor escuilliei, a halszkaraptorine dromaeosaurid,[53] and Latenivenatrix mcmasterae, the largest known troodontid.[8] In 2019, Currie coauthored a study describing the fossil hagfish Tethymyxine tapirostrum found in the Hâdjula Lagerstätte, a fossil site of Cenomanian age in Lebanon,[54] as well as one which described Mimodactylus libanensis, a pterosaur from that same locality.[34] In 2020, Currie, together with longtime collaborator Rodolfo Coria, was part of a team of researchers that published a description of Lajasvenator ascheriae, the oldest known carcharodontosaurid from the Cretaceous period.[55]

Philip John Currie AOE FRSC born March 13 1949 is a Canadian palaeontologist and museum curator who helped found the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in Drumheller Alberta and is now a professor at the University of Alberta in Edmonton In the 1980s he became the director of the Canada China Dinosaur Project the first cooperative palaeontological partnering between China and the West since the Central Asiatic Expeditions in the 1920s and helped describe some of the first feathered dinosaurs 1 2 He is one of the primary editors of the influential Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs 3 and his areas of expertise include theropods especially Tyrannosauridae the origin of birds and dinosaurian migration patterns and herding behavior 4 He was one of the models for palaeontologist Alan Grant in the film Jurassic Park 5 Phil CurrieAOE FRSCCurrie in 2014Born 1949 03 13 March 13 1949 age 73 Brampton Ontario Canada 1 Alma materUniversity of TorontoMcGill UniversityKnown forDinosaursSpouseEva

Science degree from the University of Toronto in 1972 a Master of Science degree from McGill University in 1975 and a Doctor of Philosophy PhD degree in biology with distinction from the same institution in 1981 6 His master s and PhD theses were on synapsids and early aquatic diapsids respectively 2 Currie became curator of earth science at the Provincial Museum of Alberta in Edmonton in 1976 just as he began the PhD program Within three seasons he had so much success at fieldwork that the province began planning a larger museum to hold the collection The collection became part of the Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology which was completed in 1985 2 and Currie was appointed curator of dinosaurs 1 In 1986 Currie became the co director of the joint Canada China Dinosaur Project with Dale Russell of the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa and Dong Zhiming of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing 2 Contributions to palaeontology EditOver the last 25 years when he has worked on fossil discovery in Mongolia Argentina Antarctica Dinosaur Provincial Park Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park and many other locations His contributions to palaeontology include synonymising the genera Troodon and Stenonychosaurus in 1987 with the former name taking precedence 7 and later reversing this in 2017 8 He has also synonymised the ceratopsian taxon Rubeosaurus with Styracosaurus the latter being the valid senior synonym 9 One of Currie s main interests has been the evolutionary link between modern birds and non avian dinosaurs The similarities between troodontids and birds in particular made him a major proponent of the theory that birds are descended from dinosaurs 5 as did his finding that tyrannosaurids along with many other non avian theropod lineages possessed furculae a trait previously believed to be exclusive to birds and absent from non avian dinosaurs 10 As part of the joint China Canada Dinosaur Project he helped describe two of the first dinosaur specimens from the lagerstatten of the Liaoning in China that clearly showed feather impressions Protarchaeopteryx 11 12 and Caudipteryx 12 In contrast with the 1996 discovery of Sinosauropteryx which only showed the impression of downy filaments these were indisputably feathers 5 This not only helped cement the theory that birds are descended from dinosaurs but indicated that many dromaeosaurids were feathered 13 He was later featured in numerous popular articles and documentaries citation needed In 1997 Currie teamed up with Microsoft s Chief Technical Officer Nathan Myhrvold to create a computer model demonstrating that diplodocids could snap their tails like whips and create small sonic booms 14 He was involved in exposing a composite specimen that had been the subject of the 1999 National Geographic Archeoraptor scandal 15 Currie became increasingly sceptical of the orthodox belief that large carnivorous dinosaurs were solitary animals but there was no evidence for his hypothesis that they may have hunted in packs However circumstantial evidence came when he tracked down a site mentioned by Barnum Brown that featured 12 specimens of Albertosaurus from various age groups 16 17 Currie was also involved in the discovery of a bonebed which evidenced gregarious behaviour in the caenagnathoid Avimimus 18 Currie has made important contributions to the study of phylogenetics He contributed to a comprehensive revision of the phylogenetic relationships of ankylosaurid species in 2015 19 He also reassessed the phylogenetic status of Nipponosaurus sachalinensis discovering that it was much more basal among the Lambeosaurinae than palaeontologists had previously thought 20 Currie has published multiple papers on the cranial anatomy of various dinosaurs Together with Rodolfo Coria he published a detailed description of the braincase of the large carcharodontosaurid Giganotosaurus carolinii in 2003 which led him to believe that Giganotosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus were very closely related genera 21 In 2017 he and Ariana Paulina Carabajal wrote a paper on the anatomy of the well preserved braincase of Murusraptor barrosaensis finding it to be more similar to tyrannosaurids than to allosaurids or ceratosaurids 22 A year later he coauthored a study detailing the endocranial morphology of the ankylosaurines Talarurus plicatospineus and Tarchia teresae 23 In 2019 together with David Christopher Evans Currie described newly discovered cranial material of the dromaeosaurid Saurornitholestes langstoni and found the poorly known tooth taxon Zapsalis likely to represent the same taxon as Saurornitholestes 24 Currie s contributions to the study of dinosaur dentition include helping discover the first known instance of alveolar remodelling in dinosaurs 25 and revealing in a 2020 study that the dentition of Sinraptor bore extreme similarities to that of Allosaurus further concluding that Sinraptor would likely have actively hunted medium sized dinosaurs such as Jiangjunosaurus junggarensis 26 Currie has extensively studied the subject of juvenile dinosaurs and dinosaur ontogeny His publications on the subject have included studies on juveniles of Chasmosaurus 27 Pinacosaurus 28 Daspletosaurus 29 and Saurornithoides 30 In addition to his work on dinosaurs Currie has been involved in numerous research projects on pterosaurs In 2011 and 2016 he was involved in the description of the first pterosaur fossils from the Northumberland Formation a part of the Nanaimo Group of Hornby Island in British Columbia finding that they probably represented indeterminate members of Istiodactylidae and Azhdarchidae respectively 31 32 In 2017 he assisted in the description of the first known pterosaur pelvic material from the Dinosaur Park Formation 33 he has also helped study pterosaur material from the Cenomanian found in Lebanon 34 Currie helped rediscover the type localities of the Mongolian sauropods Nemegtosaurus mongoliensis and Opisthocoelicaudia skarzynskii in 2017 the location of both quarries had become unknown due to them being described several decades before and not having been studied for some time The next year he published a paper as the lead author in which he suggested the two taxa may represent the same species 35 Currie s research interests have included ichnofossils as well as body fossils In 1979 at the beginning of his career he and William A S Sarjeant described Amblydactylus kortmeyeri from the Peace River Valley 36 In 1981 Currie authored in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology a description of the ichnospecies Aquatilavipes swiboldae from the Aptian Gething Formation of British Columbia 37 He went on to work on dinosaur footprints from the St Mary River Formation 38 In 2004 he studied footprint assemblages from the Lance Formation and described the ichnospecies Saurexallopus zerbsti 39 In 2018 Currie coauthored a study describing dinosaur footprints at the Nemegt locality 40 Currie in his office 2013 Over the course of his career Currie has described dozens of new species of dinosaurs as well as other animals In 1980 he named the tangasaurid species Acerosodontosaurus piveteaui based on a partial skull and partial skeleton found in Madagascar 41 In 1993 he and Xi Jin Zhao described Sinraptor dongi from the Shishugou Formation in Xinjiang 42 He was involved in the China Canada Dinosaur Project as part of the research which described Protarchaeopteryx robusta 11 12 and Caudipteryx zoui 12 In 2000 he was part of a team describing the Mongolian oviraptorid Nomingia gobiensis 43 In 2004 he was involved in the description of Atrociraptor marshalli 44 In 2009 he contributed to the scientific paper describing Hesperonychus elizabethae the first known microraptorine found in North America 45 In 2012 Currie along with David Christopher Evans and other colleagues described the leptoceratopsids Gryphoceratops morrisoni and Unescoceratops koppelhusae from the Milk River Formation and Dinosaur Park Formation respectively of Alberta 46 In 2013 he worked with David Christopher Evans and Derek W Larson to study and name the velociraptorine dromaeosaurid Acheroraptor temertyorum 47 and with Dong Zhiming and other palaeontologists to describe Nebulasaurus taito 48 In 2014 he and Victoria Megan Arbour described the ankylosaurid Zaraapelta nomadis 49 In 2015 Currie as part of a team of twelve scientists described Ischioceratops zhuchengensis from Shandong Province 50 In 2016 he and Gregory Funston described Apatoraptor pennatus a novel caenagnathid taxon from the Horseshoe Canyon Formation of Alberta 51 In 2017 Currie helped describe Aepyornithomimus tugrikinensis the first species of ornithomimosaur found in the Djadokhta Formation of Mongolia 52 Halszkaraptor escuilliei a halszkaraptorine dromaeosaurid 53 and Latenivenatrix mcmasterae the largest known troodontid 8 In 2019 Currie coauthored a study describing the fossil hagfish Tethymyxine tapirostrum found in the Hadjula Lagerstatte a fossil site of Cenomanian age in Lebanon 54 as well as one which described Mimodactylus libanensis a pterosaur from that same locality 34 In 2020 Currie together with longtime collaborator Rodolfo Coria was part of a team of researchers that published a description of Lajasvenator ascheriae the oldest known carcharodontosaurid from the Cretaceous period 55 Philip J Currie Dinosaur Museum EditMain article Philip J Currie Dinosaur Museum In 2015 the Philip J Currie Dinosaur Museum was opened
