About Dong Zhiming
- Dong Zhiming (Chinese: ???, Pinyin: Dong Zhimíng; born January 1937), of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) in Beijing, is a Chinese vertebrate paleontologist.
- He began working at the IVPP in 1962, studying under Yang Zhongjian, who was director at the time.
- He has described fossil remains of many dinosaurs, including sauropods such as Shunosaurus, Datousaurus and Omeisaurus, as well as Archaeoceratops.
- He investigated and described the Dashanpu Formations; an important contribution to science since they are composed of Middle Jurassic beds which do not commonly yield fossils.
