I am a vertebrate paleontologist specializing in studying the chemistry of fossil teeth to better understand past environments and the behavior of animals in those environments. Until recently, I was a researcher at the University of Rochester, but now I'm doing research independently whilst running a nature and pet photography business.

This project has been on my mind for many years as it addresses a fundamental assumption (and limitation) with the study of fossil teeth.
