I made geo-paleontological field works in Chubut, San Juan and La Rioja provinces.
In 2010, I was invited by Dr. Diego Pol to participate in paleontological field works in the Jurassic and Cretaceous of Chubut province.

 

In 2004, 2005 and 2006 I was invited by Dr. Martinez and Dr. Alcober from the Natural Science Museum of San Juan to participate in Triassic paleontological field works in San Juan and La Rioja provinces, particularly in the Ischigualasto, Los Colorados and Chañares formations.

 

I have also conducted exploratory field works on Salicas Formation (Upper Miocene) in the north of La Rioja province, where we found several rodents and notoungulate remains.

 

Since 2006 I participate of over 40 explorations and geo-paleontological field trips in Cretaceous outcrops of La Rioja. In Sanagasta have worked for 5 consecutive years which has allowed the recognition of an extraordinary dinosaur nesting site, where more than 90 neosauropod egg-clutches distributed in a smaller area (300,000 m2) were found in direct association with a paleohydrothermal environment.

I participate also of several field trips to other Cretaceous Los Llanos outcrops, as for example in Tanin, Olta, Tama, Chepes and Sierra Brava regions. In the Tama region we found the first Cretaceous vertebrates assemblage from La Rioja represented by turtles, notosuchian crocodiles and several sauropods, theropods and ornithopods.
