Recent articles detail marine reptile fossils, fossil insects, and dinosaur footprints, often from North American and European Jurassic and Triassic strata. The research frequently involves phylogenetic analysis, taxonomic revisions, and the paleoenvironmental context of fossil discoveries, with a particular emphasis on sites like Dinosaur State Park in Connecticut.
