Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: April 8, 1956 (Integrated Authority File) or April 9, 1956 (Benton, Prof. Michael James, (born 8 April 1956), Professor of Vertebrate Palaeontology, University of Bristol, since 1997).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
