Palaeontology 

Our palaeontological research concerns the records of life in Earth rocks. We use a fusion of cutting edge computational and classical field and optical methods to reveal life’s remains that have become entombed in rock. The outcomes of these investigations are detailed reconstructions of past life and its environment.
