About
I am the Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science in Miami, Florida, and I specialize on sauropods of the Morrison Formation. In particular, I am interested in sauropod ontogeny (changes in the skeleton as the animals grew up), and I use a combination of morphology (shape of the skeletal features) and osteohistology (microscopic anatomy of the bones) to document not only how old an animal was when it died, but when various changes in the shapes of the bones occurred in life. Documenting when and why such changes occurred can help us better understand the life histories of these remarkable terrestrial titans.
