Dear visitor,
- Dear visitor,
I am a French paleontologist, specialist on Crocodyliformes. My research is focused on several aspects and several group of these animals.
This web site is dedicated to these animals, but I also hope it will allow you to discover the job of a paleontologist. The site will be updated progressively, but be patient, my curratorial activities, research, and the redaction of several books, employs most of my time....
The site is available in English, but as I am french, I also wish to communicate in my first language as I am not a native English speaker. The English translation isreviewed by my friend John Jones. Many thanks Mr Jeuuun !!
Do not hesitate to give your comments and criticisms on the "feedback form" !
Many thanks !
