Visiting Paleontologist
Mr. Carceres conducted research at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science from October 28, 2008 through November 1, 2008. He primarily studied our fossil whale Cynthiacetus, which was formally (scientifically) described and named in 2005 by Dr. Mark Uhen of the University of Michigan (now at the University of Alabama). However, he also took measurements of two other fossils whales in the Museum collection: Basilosaurus and Zygorhiza. Click here for more details.
