What do we do?
What do we do?
My lab focuses on the ecology and evolution of sauropod dinosaurs. In particular, we are interested in diplodocid sauropods, including Carnegie Museum mascot Dippy the Diplodocus. Recent work includes descriptions of skin impressions, bone histology, patterns of species distribution and some basic descriptive work on juvenile dinosaurs. Undergraduate research is a main focus of our lab, with multiple publications resulting from their efforts. Our ongoing collaboration with Carnegie Museum ensures that there are no shortage of opportunities to get hands-on with fossil material, including mammals, basal synapsids, and early amphibians in addition to dinosaurs.
