Dinosaurs named for Him
  • :
  • I find three dinosaurs which were named in honor of dad. I am not sure who did the naming in each instance but these are the names and the bit of information that dad provided about each in one of his biographical documents:
  • 1. Progainognathus jenseni, an unusual fossil animal I found in South  America, about half way on an evolutionary scale between reptiles and mammals.
  • 2.   Austrobrachyops jenseni: the first fossil animal found inAntarctica
  • 3. Jensensispermum redmondi , a fossil plant eaten by dinosaurs, by a scientist in the Brith Museum of Natural History.

  • In addition, he named a few dinosaurs, though there is controversy involving some of the large sauropods.  This is a list of the names:
