Dinosaur named after British cartoonist
How about your name attached to a newly discovered dinosaur?
The pterosaur identified by Dr David Martill at the university’s school of earth and environmental studies, is named Cuspicephalus scarfi – after Gerald Scarfe, the political cartoonist who depicted Mrs Thatcher as a pointy-nosed ‘Torydactyl’.

Ha! One of the only times you’d want to be referred to as a dinosaur. Great news for Mr Scarfe.
