My laboratory works include the preparation of fossil vertebrate remains from La Rioja. I prepared therapsid fossils (e.g., dicynodonts and traversodontids), proterochampsids and dinosauromorphs found in Chañares Formation with an age of 235 million years.


I have also prepared fossil materials from the Triassic Los Colorados Formation, such as aetoraur remains, sauropodomorphs (Riojasaurus and Lessemsaurus) and uncertain theropods.

 

From Miocene outcrops of the Northern riojan regions (Salicas Formation), I work with notoungulates and fossil edentates.


However, my main technical works are focused on prepare fossil vertebrate remains from Los Llanos Formation (Cretaceous) of La Rioja. I have prepared numerous dinosaur egg-cluthces from Sanagasta and now I am preparing crocs and dinosaur remains from Tama locality, southern area of La Rioja (type locality of Los Llanos Fm.).

 

In addition to the technical preparation of fossil materials, I have specialized in the realization of rocks and fossils thin sections, especially histological thin sections of bones and dinosaur eggs.


The results of my technical works have been published in important journals like Ameghiniana, Palaios, and Nature.
