MONGOLIAN PALEONTOLOGIST AWARDED ROMER-SIMPSON MEDAL
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, /MONTSAME/ An academician and director of the Paleontological Institute at the Academy of Sciences (AS) of Mongolia Dr. R.Barsbold will receive the Romer-Simpson Medal (Prize named after U.S famous paleontologists Alfred S. Romer and George G. Simpson) in accordance with a decision made at a meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP) May 28 this year.
The Romer-Simpson Medal is the world supreme prize on the vertebrate paleontology. This prize has been awarded to 22 scholars so far since its establishment. The laureate of the prize Dr. Barsbold told a reporter about the prize and his some works.
The prize is a medal named in honor of the U.S outstanding paleontologists Alfred S.Romer and George G.Simpson. This time, the medal is awarded to the Mongolian paleontologist for his significant contribution to the worldwide studies of Mongolian ancient times' animals and plants and dinosaurs.
Dr. Barsbold has become the second person to receive the Romer-Simpson Medal from Asia, following a Chinese paleontologist Zhou Ming-Zhen who founded the paleontological science in his country.
According to Dr. Barsbold, Alfred S.Romer and George G.Simpson are famous paleontologists of the USA who found a basis of studies on evolution of ancient animals and plants and had the modern people understand correctly their evolution. He said that apart of the U.S paleontologists, a Russia-born American genetics scholar significantly contributed to determining and explaining the origin and development of live things and their evolutions and to finding reasons of the extinction of some animals and plants.
Dr. Barsbold said he had conducted his studies based on scientific and research works by a U.S paleontologist Andrews who contributed to opening the dinosaur studies in Mongolia and the first researcher to use a car for field scientific expedition. In frames of research conducted in 1920 by Andrews, some fossilized eggs were found in Mongolian territories. Furthermore, an embryo of a meat-eater dinosaur was found from Mongolian territory for the first time in the world.
Dr. Barsbold has been working as a head of Mongolia-Russia joint paleontological research group for 40 years.
