Interests

My highest mark (first class honours) in my final year was in one of the aspects of the subject that interests me most, vertebrate palaeontology.I am especially interested in felids, and hope to conduct research on them, in the near future. The Cambrian explosion is also of particular interest, and the remarkable Chinese fossils that have provided new and important information on this major event.
