David Bruce Norman (born 20 June 1952 in the United Kingdom) is a British paleontologist, currently the main curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge University.
The species epithet of Equijubus normani was named in honour of him.
[5] In 2017, Norman was one of three British palaeontologists who proposed a radical new hypothesis for early dinosaur evolution and interrelationships in a paper in the journal Nature.
In this work, Matthew Grant Baron, Norman and Paul Michael Barrett (2017) suggested that Ornithischia and Theropoda were closely related as part of a new clade that they named Ornithoscelida.
[6] He also possesses a keen interest in rugby, and he regularly referees for Cambridge University.
