Overview

Arnaud Brayard is affiliated with the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) in France and has contributed extensively to the Earth and Planetary Sciences field, with a particular focus on paleontology and stratigraphy of fossils. Their research encompasses a broad range of topics including paleontology and evolutionary biology, marine biology and ecology research, geological and geochemical analysis, and geochemistry and elemental analysis.

The scientist's recent publications demonstrate a focus on Early Triassic ecosystems and marine life evolution. Notable papers include:

  • "A Mesozoic fossil lagerstätte from 250.8 million years ago shows a modern-type marine ecosystem" (2023, Science)
  • "Exceptional fossil assemblages confirm the existence of complex Early Triassic ecosystems during the early Spathian" (2021, Scientific Reports)
  • "Calibrating the late Smithian (Early Triassic) crisis: New insights from the Nanpanjiang Basin, South China" (2021, Global and Planetary Change)
  • "Why the Early Paleozoic was intrinsically prone to marine extinction" (2023, Science Advances)
  • "Smithian (Early Triassic) ammonoid faunas from Timor: taxonomy and biochronology" (2020, Palaeontographica Abteilung A)
