The Master students will work on documenting in detail an abundant lizard and snake fossil material from different localities, with the aid of both visual microscopy (microscopes and cameras available at ISEA PAS) and μCT (micro-computed tomography) scanning and 3D imaging. The students are expected, with the guidance and supervision of the Principal Investigator of this NSC project (Dr. hab. Georgios Georgalis), to make taxonomic identifications of the fossil material, write complete anatomical descriptions, and photographing the most important specimens. The students will also be trained and get in depth knowledge on the skeletal anatomy of extant reptiles, by using and consulting the abundant and rich collection of extant reptile skeletons housed at ISEA PAS. The students are expected to publish some results of their research conducted for this project also in international peer-reviewed journals. All this research is expected to be conducted physically at the facilities of ISEA PAS, and not remotely.Working schedule:
