Personal Info:
I have done my PhD thesis on the Oligocene and
Early Miocene faunal turnovers in Western Europe. My researches concentrated on
the Ruminantia. The working group of macrovertebrates is surching on various
problematic centred on the palaeoenvironment evolution and the biostratigraphy
in Western Europe apply on various groups of vertebrates from sharks to mammals
(Ruminantia, Cainotheriidae, Carnivora, Creodonta, etc.).
Different methods,
such as morphometry, comparative anatomy, dental micro- and mesowears, geometric
morphometrics and tooth enamel microstructure are used to characterize
palaeocology and phylogeny of these animals.
