Thesis Title
Exploring the Relationship Between Paleobiogeography, Deep-Diving Behavior, and Size Variation of the Parietal Eye In Mosasaurs

Research
I am interested in the biogeographic range of Mosasaurs, as well as the paleobiogeographical effects of the parietal foramen in Mosasaurs and Permian reptiles.
