Research Interests

My interests include any aspect of developmental palaeooölogy (the study of fossil eggs, eggshells, and nests) applied to vertebrate paleontology, particularly in standardising the methods of analysing eggs and eggshells, and.

Current research project focuses on the validity of megaloolithid dinosaur eggshells as indicators of dinosaur palaeobiodiversity at the end of the Cretaceous, comparing their specific morphometric variation to modern eggs.
