Alexandre Guillaume and the Jurassic microvertebrates of Portugal

Student Alexandre Guillaume, now master, defended his master's thesis on paleontology, on November 20th. His thesis was vertebrate microfossils form the Late Jurassic of Lourinhã, as a result of a research conducted at FCT Nova University of Lisbon and Lourinhã Museum.

The candidate passed sucessfully with the classification of 19 values.

Thesis Defense: André Saleiro

Student André Saleiro, now master, defended his master's thesis on paleontology, on November 5th. His thesis was about the campaigns that have taken place in Wyoming (United States) for the collection of fossil dinosaur materials.

These expeditions were a collaboration between the American Museum of Natural History (New York, E. U.A.) and the FCT NOVA University of Lisbon, some of the material collected was prepared at the Lourinhã Museum.
