Teresa Maryańska is a Polish paleontologist who has specialized in Mongolian dinosaurs, particularly pachycephalosaurians and ankylosaurians.[1] Peter Dodson (1998 p. 9) claims that in 1974 Maryanska together with Halszka Osmolska were the first "women to describe new kinds of dinosaurs".[2] She is considered not only as one of Poland's[3] but also one of the world's leading experts on dinosaurs.[4]

A member of the 1964, 1965, 1970, and 1971 Polish–Mongolian expeditions to the Gobi Desert,[5] she has described many finds from these rocks, often with Halszka Osmólska. Among the dinosaurs she has described are: Saichania and Tarchia (1977); with Osmólska, Homalocephale, Prenocephale, and Tylocephale (and Pachycephalosauria) (1974), Bagaceratops (1975), and Barsboldia (1981); and with Osmόlska and Altangerel Perle, Goyocephale (1982).[1] Feduccia notes that Maryanska and her colleagues (Osmólska and Wolsan) produced in 2002 the "most impressive analysis of the oviraptorosaurs".[6]

Amongst her many publications are contributions to three chapters of the 2nd edition of the highly respected The Dinosauria: the chapters on the Therizinosauroidea, the Ankylosauria and on the Pachycephalosauria.[7]

As of 2004, she was affiliated with the Muzeum Ziemi of the Polska Akademia Nauk.[8] She was assistant director of Muzeum Ziemi.[9]
