For me, fieldwork is the most important and enjoyable part of being a palaeontologist. An appreciation of true diversity and completeness of the fossil record simply cannot be attained without spending a lot of time on outcrop.
I have over 20 years experience digging fossils, specialising in prospecting, field identification, and extraction of terrestrial vertebrates, especially dinosaurs. I have also spent a significant amount of time collecting invertebrates, although for the most part I do not personally research them.
I have been fortunate enough to have conducted fieldwork all over the world, working with and learning from some very talented people.
