Our new paper on Miocene Sharks and the Messinian Crisis is in the news. Our team has recently published a new work focused on the diversity of abyssal sharks in the Mediterraenean area during the Miocene, prior the Messinina Crisis, discussing the importance of these new material on the understanding of…
Carlos is working with Professor Philip Donoghue in Bristol (UK) until September founded by the Vicerectorat d’Investigacio i Politica Cientifica from the Univesity of Valencia. He is going to work on several projects focused on the functional morphology of the skeleton of several groups of early vertebrates.

Recently our group has started a new research line focused on Neogene Sharks from the western mediterranean area (Spanish Levantine coast) where the expertise of Dr. Carrillo is fundamental.
Last week, Humberto, Carlos and Hector were attending the 14th International Symposium on Early and Lower Vertebrates in Poland. The meeting was a complete success and our team presented several talks and posters about our last research lines, including network analysis, theloddonts palaeoecology, computed fluid dynamics and tomography. We are…
Humberto is going to spend the next three months at Upssala University (Sweden), within the research group headed by Prof. Per Ahlberg. He will be trained in analysis of tomographic data.
Carlos and Hector just came back from Colombia after two weeks fieldwork on the Devonian and Carboniferous strata of the Oriental Cordillera. We were working with a team of French and Colombian colleagues looking for new and classical Devonian fish localities. This is our first visit to the country, but…
