Miguel Telles Antunes

Dr. Miguel Telles Antunes GOIH (born 11 January 1937) is a Portuguese academic, specializing in paleontology, zooarchaeology, and geology.

Antunes is the namesake of the scientific names of multiple species, from dinosaurs to insects, owing to his preeminence as the field of paleontology and archaeology, the most notable of which is the Lourinhanosaurus antunesi, a theropod dinosaur of the late Jurassic period.

On 30 January 1965, he married Maria Salomé Soares Pais Telles Antunes, Secretary-General of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences and Secretary of the Academy Class of Letters, Portugal's highest linguistic governing body.
