      I am an accidental explorer…I never set out to travel the world, but the fossil samples that I need for my research meant I had to explore. If I can avoid travelling, I do…as believe it or not, I hate flying!

      My next fieldwork will be later this Summer in Montana and South Dakota (USA), digging-up the fossil remains of late Cretaceous animals, including dinosaurs, birds, reptiles and even rare mammal fossils.
