Albert-Félix de Lapparent (1905–1975) was a French palaeontologist. He was also a Sulpician priest. He undertook a number of fossil-hunting explorations in the Sahara desert. He contributed greatly to our knowledge of dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. In 1986, José Bonaparte named the dinosaur ''Lapparentosaurus'' in his honour. Dinosaurs named by Lapparent were ''Inosaurus tedreftensis'' (Lapparent, 1960) and ''Lusitanosaurus liassicus'' (Lapparent and Zbyszewski, 1957). New species of known genera are also credited to him. In alphabetical order, they are: ''Apatosaurus alenquerensis'' (Lapparent and Zbyszewski, 1957), ''Astrodon pusillus'' (Lapparent and Zbyszewski, 1957), ''Brachiosaurus atalaiensis '' (Lapparent and Zbyszewski, 1957), ''Brachiosaurus nougaredi'' (Lapparent, 1960), ''Cetiosaurus mogrebiensis'' (Lapparent, 1955), ''Elaphrosaurus gautieri'' (Lapparent, 1960), ''Elaphrosaurus iguidiensis'' (Lapparent, 1960), ''Megalosaurus pombali'' (Lapparent and Zbyszewski, 1957) and ''Rebbachisaurus tamesnensis'' (Lapparent, 1960). The giant crocodile ''Sarcosuchus'' was also discovered by him, in 1964. ==References== *(Enchanted Learning website ) *A. F. d.e. Lapparent and G. Zbyszewski. 1957.
