Weishampel''' (born [[November 16]], [[1952]]) is an American [[palaeontologist]] in the [[Center for Functional Anatomy and Evolution]] at [[Johns Hopkins University]] School of Medicine. Weishampel received his Ph.D. in Geology from the [[University of Pennsylvania]] in [[1981]]. His research focuses include [[dinosaur]] systematics, European dinosaurs of the Late [[Cretaceous]], jaw mechanics and [[herbivory]], [[cladistics]] and [[heterochrony]] and the history of [[evolutionary biology]]. Weishampel's most well known published work is ''The Dinosauria'' University of California Press; 2nd edition ([[December 1]], [[2004]]). He consulted for [[Jurassic Park]] and is a good friend of [[Steven Spielberg]]. He has received an Academy Award for Scientific and Technical work. ==Selected publications== *Weishampel, D.
