The most notable dinosaur species she discovered include: ''Deinocheirus'' and ''Gallimimus'' while ''Kielanodon'' and ''Zofiabaatar'' were named in her honour.In her obituary in ''Nature'', Richard L. Cifelli wrote that "Much of what we know about the origin and early evolution of mammals stems, directly or indirectly, from [her work]". Provided by Wikipedia
