About. As a doctoral student I researched and wrote a thesis on the pattern and process of limb evolution in aquatically adapted reptiles. I studied the limbs of spectacular fossil sea monsters such as ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, crocodiles and mosasaurs (the only true lizards on this list).

Paleontology provides a "time" reference for the position, importance, relevance and relationship of individual human beings, and ultimately of all humans, to the physical and biological world around us.That the planet is ancient, that we can find the remains of ancient animals from ancient and unsuspected worlds is more than just a pull on the ima...
Long story...I was fascinated by fossils and dinosaurs when I was seven, in grade two. I still remember my first paleontology book from the library-that never went away. I dawdled around in several undergrad programs before starting my final undergrad degree in 1987 in paleontology. Never looked back.
My old postdoctoral supervisor, Olivier Rieppel. He challenged me intellectually and personally, and though little of it, in the long run, was positive, the challenges improved me beyond expectation. The runner-up in this category is Robert Carroll, my Ph.D. supervisor; he stood by, somewhat patiently, and taught me to write and allowed me to think...
I am a vertebrate paleontologist and evolutionary biologist with a discipline-specific focus on the evolutionary history and interrelationships of snakes, lizards, and their kin. This means that my data set first appears in rocks that are about 260 million years old and continues to the present. I am fascinated by the patterns and processes that dr...
The oldest known snakes (70 million years older than previously known materials); the origins of snakes, lizards, and their kin from within the radiation of reptiles known as sauropsids; redefining our understanding of two groups of giant marine lizards known as mosasaurs, the genus Mosasaurus and the genus Tylosaurus; and the evolution of aquatic ...
The field comes in two forms: actual fieldwork and prospecting for fossils, or collaborative museum-based research working on specimens tucked away in the cabinets and drawers of the world's museums. If the field is the "prospecting" version, then coffee is number one, followed by driving or hiking out to the localities for another day of prospecti...
There are many ways to become a professional paleontologist. My version is to be a university academic and scholar, surrounded by students of all kinds (undergrads, grad students, colleagues) who are hungry for knowledge. I believe it is the best job in the world.
Sep 28, 2022 · Dr. Michael Caldwell, a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences in the Faculty of Science, takes us on an adventure to find fossils in ancient rocks, search for living forms and reflect on how science as a scholarly pursuit can intersect with art or philosophy as a way of understanding the world around us.
