Darren Naish
Darren Naish (born 1975) is a British vertebrate palaeontologist and science writer. He obtained a geology degree at the University of Southampton and later studied vertebrate palaeontology under British palaeontologist David Martill at the University of Portsmouth, where he obtained both an M. Phil. and PhD
==Research==
Though initially beginning his research career in palaeontology with the intention of working on fossil marine reptiles, Naish is best known among palaeontologists for his doctoral work on the basal tyrannosauroid theropod ''Eotyrannus'', a dinosaur that he, together with Steve Hutt and colleagues, named in 2001. He has published articles on the Wealden Supergroup theropods ''Thecocoelurus'', ''Calamospondylus'' and ''Aristosuchus''. With Martill and Dino Frey, he named a new illegally acquired Brazilian compsognathid theropod ''Mirischia''. In 2004, Naish and Gareth Dyke reinterpreted the controversial Romanian fossil ''Heptasteornis''. Suggested by other authors to be a giant owl, troodontid or dromaeosaurid, it was argued by Naish and Dyke to be an alvarezsaurid, and as such is the first member of this group to be reported from Europe. Other fragmentary European alvarezsaurid specimens have since been reported.
Naish has also published work on sauropod dinosaurs, pterosaurs, fossil marine reptiles, turtles, marine mammals and other fossil vertebrates, and he has also produced articles on other aspects of zoology. He published a series of articles on poorly known cetaceans during the 1990s and in 2004 published a review article on the giant New Zealand gecko ''Hoplodactylus delcourti''. In 2004 he and colleagues described a giant Isle of Wight sauropod dinosaur that appears closely related to the North American brachiosaurid ''Sauroposeidon'', and informally referred to as Angloposeidon. Prior to the 2006 description of ''Turiasaurus'' from Spain, this was the largest dinosaur reported from Europe. In 2005 he coauthored the description of the new Cretaceous turtle ''Araripemys arturi'', and in 2006 he and David Martill published a revision of the South American crested pterosaurs ''Tupuxuara'' and ''Thalassodromeus''. During 2007 and 2008, Naish and Martill published a major revision of British dinosaurs; Naish also published work with Barbara Sánchez-Hernández and Michael J. Benton on the vertebrate fossils of Galve in Spain. The Galve fossils are significant in including istiodactylid pterosaurs, heterodontosaurids and spinosaurines. In 2007, Naish co-authored the description of the bizarre new sauropod ''Xenoposeidon'' with fellow Portsmouth-based palaeontologist Mike P. Taylor. In 2008 he published an evaluation of azhdarchid pterosaurs with Mark Witton. In 2013, Naish described ''Vectidraco daisymorrisae'', a small azhdarchoid pterosaur from the Isle of Wight.
