Outline of research activitiesFootprints are important clue for understanding dinosaur social life and their kinematics. I investigate footprints of the Lower to Upper Jurassic of Morocco, and Upper Cretaceous of Mongolia.
In 2013, Okayama University of Science and Mongolian Academy of Science on paleontological research and education. We execute joint expedition and multidisciplinary study on dinosaur and dinosaur bearing beds in the Gobi Desert.
I also study local fossils of Okayama, and visitor behavior in paleontological exhibit of the museum.
Phogtograph: Parallel trackways of middle-sized Carnivorous dinosaur in the Gobi Desert. These trackways indicate the gregarious behavior of dinosaur.- Desired cooperation
