Palaeontologist: Dinosaur Footprints – Biomechanics – Simulation
I've uploaded a couple more datasets to the neoichnology section. Welly Impression Not a lot to say here, human foot, wearing a wellington boot, in mud. I recorded this for making a guide (which may appear soon), and thought I may as well upload it and add to the collection. Horse footprints and raindrop... Continue Reading →
New paper in Proc B on Cambrian Echinoderm Hydrodynamics
A few words on the design of the SVPCA 2016 logo.
New data uploaded - Heron tracks in mud.
Last month I was fortunate to head over to Denmark and visit my friend and colleague Jesper Milàn at Geomuseum Faxe. We’ve worked together in the recent past (we have a chapter together in the forthcoming Dinosaur Tracks: Next Steps) but aside from a few conferences, we’ve never actually sat down in the same room to...

Just a quick post to say that I've added a new data set to the Neoichnology resources page. It's an interesting [to me at least] area of beach sand trampled by horses (I think 2-3, but didn't see the tracks being made), heading in two directions. I recorded it for two reasons: The first is... Continue Reading →
My extolling the wonders for productivity given by windows 8.1 and Onedrive, and my disappointment with Windows 10
I'm back from SVPCA and after seeing all the active research, feel I can finish all my projects too... Except....
This post is as much about initiating discussion as it is about my own thoughts on the matter, so feel free to comment away, here, or twitter, or google+ or wherever – I’m interested in thoughts and perspectives. So… 3D PDFs. They seem like a really good idea right? You can encapsulate 3D information to... Continue Reading →
As a palaeontologist, sometimes it can be difficult to justify what you do to the people down the local pub. From personal experience, I’ve learnt that when surrounded by a teacher, plumber, mechanic and farmer, announcing that the EU just gave you a substantial pot of money to look at 200 million year old dinosaur...
