Fieldwork experience

 

I have regularly participated in excavations and prospections since 2004. I have joined more than 20 palaeontological surveys in Spain, localities ranging from the early Permian to the late Pleistocene, and I have directed or co-directed 12 additional interventions. Occasionally, I have also joined expeditions in the USA. Among the duties I have commonly carried out are surface collecting, screen-washing, controlling heavy machinery, digging and gathering of associated data.
