\u201904 PhD, PDF<\/strong><\/p>\n

Darla has a well-established research record on fossil eggshells, especially those of theropods but also from a variety of dinosaurs and other reptiles. She holds a BSc from the University of Manitoba and a MSc and PhD from the University of Calgary, earning her doctoral status in 2004. Her graduate studies and subsequent Alberta Ingenuity Fellowship with Phil focused on dinosaur eggshell with comparisons to living reptiles, including fossilized eggs still inside dinosaur skeletons. She was involved in the research team that first recognized evidence of feathers in dinosaurs in North America, and is now an Associate Professor at University of Calgary.<\/p>\n
