Mary Higby Schweitzer adalah seorang paleontolog di North Carolina State University. Ia memimpin kelompok-kelompok yang menemukan sisa-sisa sel darah dalam fosil-fosil dinosaurus dan kemudian menemukan sisa-sisa jaringan lunak pada spesimen Tyrannosaurus rex MOR 1125, serta bukti bahwa spesimen tersebut adalah seekor betina saat ia mati.
