A Plant Fossil Named for Dr. Sattler

[Stuckasaurus (Dino Dad Reviews)]

Jurassic Park's own paleobotanist Ellie Sattler has a fossil conifer named for her! Brachyphyllum sattlerae belongs to the Araucarian family, whose most famous modern member is the Monkey Puzzle Tree. Widespread in the Cretaceous, araucarians are today limited to South American and Southeast Asia.

So long as it doesn't give Triceratops stomach problems, is all good!

This is actually such an awesome way to close out 2020.

That is indeed lovely of them.

If you're going to have an honorific for a fictional character, that's the one to pick! I just hope we never see anything named after Owen Grady!

A bit late to this, but this is really nice seeing this. Would love to see a dromaeosaurid named after Grant too someday.

I know there was like also a dinosaur I think named (well species name) from the initials of most or all of the cast members names as well. I stumbled upon it recently looking for what had (mostly) complete specimens out there. Can't believe I didn't think to write it down.

It's nice that they named a prehistoric creature after someone from a movie featuring prehistoric creatures for once. I mean, look how many creatures are named after Star Wars characters instead.
