About

I am working on the taphonomy and paleoecology of Lagerstätten-type deposits. I am using geochemical, taxonomic and sedimentological approaches to improve the knowledge of these amazing fossil displays. I am also working on Triassic archosaurs, mainly phytosaurs. A project I started in the last year of my undergraduate program and continued for my Master's degree.
