Stigall LabPaleobiogeography, Paleoecology, Macroevolution

Belgium and Wales 2016

Always good to head out on a paleontology trip by visiting the O'Hare brachiosuarus

Flying buttresses!

Ghent: St. Niklas Church, the Belfry, and St. Bavos Cathedral

So nice to have Sarah and Adriane here!

Het Pand, our conference venue is on the left side. St. Michaels is on the right.

Posters with a Medieval flair

Stigall Lab!

The decor fits the paleontology theme

Me and my title slide

The Castle of the Counts from 11880--also the site of our welcome reception

Brachiopodologists!

Beer, science, and castle

"Three Chimneys" as mapped by Murchinson

Prof Williams points out that color change =/= boundary from Silurian to Devonian

Pembroke Castle

Beaches are HUGE at low tide

Diving Gannet

Our guide reminded me of Daniel Craig...perhaps he's too busy doing geology to do any more Bond movies?

Impessively thick paleosol

Tidal range of Freshwater West

Cross beds

Burrows!

Giant beach!

modern Radulichnus

Silurian turbidites

Dolphin

New Quay

This guy wanted my lunch

We had to pass this horse to get to our rocks

Also, lots of sheep on the path
