Franz Nopsca (1877-1933) was a Hungarian-born aristocrat who examined bones found by his sister on their family's estate.

The young Nopsca established that the bones were those of a dinosaur but realised that they were unusually small. The conclusion he reached as to why had a profound impact on our understanding of how habitat impacted dinosaurs.
