Who is everyone's favorite paleontologist? I don't know that many, but mine is probably Sereno because of all of his studies on Cretaceous, North African crocodylomorphs.

Mine are Othniel Marsh (i respect him more than Cope), Sereno, Curie, Coria and John Ostrom.

Did you know that Stromer lost two of his sons in World War 2 and his third was captured by Soviets?

I don't think I have a favorite one. There are more "idols" for me, however I don't want to look at them like pop stars.
So I would say Benton and Rauhut, but also some lesser known (there are also lots of great "not-dinosaur paleontologists" out there like Wellnhofer).

I also don't have a favourite one (I mean, seriously, that sounds very much as if they were pop stars), but among those whom I most enjoy reading are certainly Wedel and Taylor, for their humourous writing style and their interesting ideas. There are plenty of other great palaeontologists out there who do great work though, and all of them have earned recognition for their accomplishments.

Mine are probably Sereno (for his great work on SVPOW), the SVPOW guys (for obvious reasons) and Bulter for reviewing the paleontology related PLoS ONE articles.

My least is Alan Feduccia for his B.A.N.D-ism.  |

Don't forget his colleagues (like Ruben).  |

There are too many. I'd cite Holtz for his enthusiastic, humoristic style.

I forgot about Holtz in my list.

Bob Bakker and J. Horner for their importance at make paleontology popular and their role in the advance of modern paleontology.
Andrea Cau for his very rational and his sarcastic manners regarding the myths and the various "internet experts" of our era.
Any modern researcher using a modern, rational but still enthusiastic view toward science.

How could I forget Bakker for making palaeontology popular? And of course guys like Marsh for having been among the founding fathers of it.
