About
I grew up in General Guido city (Buenos Aires province), a very small population of farmers. Since my childhood, I develop my passion for nature, especially fossils. In that time, I look for fossils in the very same places where we extract the Panochthus many years after.
After finish the high school, I moved to La Plata, where I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and my Ph.D. in Natural Sciences from the University of La Plata. Currently, I'm studying dinosaurs in Buenos Aires, but my interest for Ice Age mammals has never died. For that reason, independently, me and Julieta (a palaeontologist and my wife) keep going to my hometown to excavate and study these interesting animals. As we said above, in 2021 we extract this beautifully preserved specimen with an independent project.
My primary goal here is, not only know more about this extinct living beings (like Panochthus), but also to develop palaeontology in the place where I grew up. This project aims to teach local people about the amazing animals that lived on its backyards about 15000 years ago. Also, I want to try to inspire young people to study science, especially palaeontology, in a place where the access to education is difficult.
