Jerzy Dzik

Jerzy Dzik (born 25 February 1950) is a Polish paleontologist.

He has described many species, genera, and families of conodonts, ^[1] including the order Ozarkodinida (in 1976). ^{[2] [3]}

In 2003, he described the dinosauriform Silesaurus , from the Triassic of Poland. ^[4]

Tributes

The conodont genus name Dzikodus Zhang 1998 is a tribute to J. Dzik.
