Undergraduate Researcher

My research addresses parts of a disarticulated but associated partial skull and skeleton of Didelphodon vorax. The fossils were excavated from a locality called Marshoupial in the Late Cretaceous-age Hell Creek Formation in McCone County, Montana. Specifically, I compare the morphology and dimensions of the hands and feet to those of extant marsupials (e.g., Didelphis virginiana). I have determined that the hand and foot elements preserved at the Marshoupial locality include two distal metacarpals, one distal metatarsal, one complete proximal phalanx (digit III or IV), one distal phalanx, one proximal phalanx (digit II or V), and three intermediate phalanges. From these elements, I infer the locomotion, habitat, and body size of Didelphodon vorax to better understand the ecology of this species.
