James Henry Madsen

James "Jim" Henry Madsen Jr. (July 28, 1932 – November 28, 2009) was an American vertebrate paleontologist and geologist and main leader of excavations at the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry in the 1960s. Madsen primarily worked to describe skeletons of Allosaurus from the quarry, eventually getting the site to become a National Natural Landmark in 1965 and a national monument after his death.
