I work on body size, growth and ontogeny in Jurassic teleosauroids. My main objectives are: (1) examining palaeohistology (the study of biological tissues in fossils) to evaluate whether teleosauroids have microanatomical features similar to modern crocodiles; (2) determining whether teleosauroids grew quickly or slowly; and (3) how their growth rate was affected by the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (a time of great climatic upheaval). I will state-of-the-art thin sectioning, computed tomography and microanatomical techniques to examine teleosauroid histological samples, as well as sophisticated statistical software to calculate and graph teleosauroid growth rates for (1) the entire group and (2) individual species. Most of my work will focus on the taxon Macrospondylus bollensis.
