This area focuses on the paleobiodiversity and paleoecology of terrestrial ecosystems during the Mesozoic era (252-66 Ma), with an emphasis on those time intervals best represented in the fossil record of Catalonia (bone remains, eggs, and ichnites)—particularly the last dinosaurs of Europe and associated faunas, aiming to model Late Cretaceous ecosystems before the K-T extinction that wiped out non-avian dinosaurs and other terrestrial vertebrates.
