Chat with Hitoshi Takamatsu
Japanese Paleontologist & Dinosaur Specialist
About Hitoshi Takamatsu
In 2016, while excavating volcanic tuff layers near Fukui Prefecture, Hitoshi Takamatsu uncovered a near-complete juvenile specimen of Fukuiraptor kitadaniensis, its preserved gastralia revealing unprecedented evidence of respiratory muscle attachment in theropods. That find reshaped how paleontologists model dinosaur breathing mechanics across Laurasian ecosystems. Unlike many contemporaries who rely on CT scans alone, Takamatsu insists on field-based sedimentological context: he maps fossil positions relative to ancient river channels and ash-fall horizons, treating each bone bed as a time-stratified archive rather than a static collection. His 2022 monograph on Japanese hadrosaurid ontogeny, based on growth rings in femoral cross-sections from 37 individuals, demonstrated regional heterochrony, proving Hokkaido’s dinosaurs matured 18, 22% slower than their Korean counterparts due to cooler paleoclimates. He speaks fluent Ainu terminology for local geologic formations, not as cultural ornamentation but as precise stratigraphic shorthand.
