Had a blast at the #SVP2022 in Toronto! It was good to talk to some folks and catch up with some friends. Spoiler alert: new fossil crocodylians are coming from #WilsonMantilla's lab!

I am currently working with the evolutionary relationships of crocodylians, particularly the Gavialis-Tomistoma controversy. Super excited to present preliminary results of this project at #MGU and #SVP this year! Many thanks to Gregory Schneider for the collection access.
