• Paleoenvironment and paleoecology of Mesozoic vertebrate faunas


Experience in Fossil Preparation

• Preparation and restoration of Carnegie Museum of Natural History specimens and dinosaur skeletons of Dryosaurus, Camptosaurus, Stegosaurus, Corythosaurus and Triceratops for the Dinosaurs in Their Time restoration project (Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, PA).

• Preparation and restoration along with assisting on molding and casting of Samson, an exceptionally preserved Tyrannosaurus skull (Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, PA).

• Preparation of a partial skull and skull elements of an Early Cretaceous unnamed sauropod from Dinosaur National Monument (Brigham Young University, Provo, UT).

• Preparation of various Late Jurassic dinosaur elements from the historic Carnegie Quarry (Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, PA).

• Preparation of Early Cretaceous ankylosaur elements for master’s thesis study (Brigham Young University, Provo, UT).
