Profile Articles Activity

I am a vertebrate palaeontologist, working mainly on placoderms in order to develop an understanding of the evolutionary origin the muscular/skeletal system in jawed vertebrates . Exceptionally rare fish fossils from the Gogo Formation, Australia; preserve not only the skeletons but the three-dimensional soft tissues. We are using tomography to virtually prepare the fossils thereby maintaining the integrity of the mineralised soft tissues.
