text: # Jerzy Dzik
  
  Jerzy Dzik est un paléontologue polonais, né le 25 février 1950.
  
  ## Travaux
  
  Dzik a principalement décrit des espèces d'animaux, vertébrés et invertébrés, trouvés dans des terrains d'âges géologiques variés.
  
  Il a notamment décrit de nombreuses espèces, genres et familles de conodontes, en incluant aussi l'ordre des Ozarkodinida et le clade des Prioniodontida, ou "conodontes complexes" en 1976.
  
  En 2003, il a décrit le genre de dinosauriformes Silesaurus, datant du Trias et trouvé en Pologne.
  
  ## Hommages
