My primary research interest is in the preservation and evolutionary significance of exceptionally preserved fossil biotas. This involves a range of approaches from experimental work on the factors controlling decay and fossilization, through studies of early diagenetic mineralization and organic preservation, to fieldwork on a range of extraordinary fossil occurrences and their taxonomic description and analysis.
