Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Genus
  • Cretaceous

David M. Martill mainly investigates Paleontology, Cretaceous, Anatomy, Zoology and Pterodactyloidea. His Paleontology study is mostly concerned with Spinosaurus, Santana Formation, Mesozoic, Sedimentary rock and Saurischia. The concepts of his Cretaceous study are interwoven with issues in Taxon and Lagerstätte.

His Skull study, which is part of a larger body of work in Anatomy, is frequently linked to Wing membrane, Thin epidermis and Metabolic heat, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Zoology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pteranodon and Predation. His study in Pterodactyloidea is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Alanqa and Kem Kem Beds.

His most cited work include:

  • Phosphatization of soft-tissue in experiments and fossils (160 citations)
  • The long–term survival of bone: the role of bioerosion (146 citations)
  • The Crato Fossil Beds of Brazil: Window into an Ancient World (145 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

David M. Martill spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Cretaceous, Crato Formation, Anatomy and Zoology. His Paleontology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Genus. Cretaceous and Lagerstätte are commonly linked in his work.

His research links Taphonomy with Crato Formation. In the subject of general Anatomy, his work in Skull and Vertebra is often linked to Soft tissue, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Santana Formation study contributes to a more complete understanding of Structural basin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (60.71%)
  • Cretaceous (46.87%)
  • Crato Formation (18.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Cretaceous (46.87%)
  • Paleontology (60.71%)
  • Kem Kem Beds (6.25%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Cretaceous, Paleontology, Kem Kem Beds, Taphonomy and Zoology are his primary areas of study. His work on Crato Formation, Cenomanian, Aptian and Azhdarchoidea as part of his general Cretaceous study is frequently connected to Context, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. In his articles, David M. Martill combines various disciplines, including Paleontology and Crest.

As part of one scientific family, David M. Martill deals mainly with the area of Kem Kem Beds, narrowing it down to issues related to the Rostrum, and often Taxon. His Taphonomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Range, Aquatic ecosystem, Spinosaurus and Paleoecology. His study on Taxonomy is often connected to Fungal hyphae as part of broader study in Zoology.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Late Maastrichtian pterosaurs from North Africa and mass extinction of Pterosauria at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary. (29 citations)
  • Geology and Paleontology of the Upper Cretaceous Kem Kem Group of Eastern Morocco (26 citations)
  • A new edentulous pterosaur from the Cretaceous Kem Kem beds of south eastern Morocco (18 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Genus
  • Paleontology
  • Cretaceous

His main research concerns Cretaceous, Paleontology, Kem Kem Beds, Spinosaurus and Taphonomy. His studies in Cretaceous integrate themes in fields like Assemblage and Lagerstätte. His work on Cenomanian is typically connected to Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary as part of general Paleontology study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His study on Kem Kem Beds also encompasses disciplines like

  • Rostrum and related Taxon,
  • Santana Formation, Anhanguera piscator and Alanqa most often made with reference to Siroccopteryx,
  • Azhdarchoidea, which have a strong connection to Mandibular symphysis, Anatomy and Mandible. His research integrates issues of Taxonomy, Trace fossil, Escarpment and Paleoecology in his study of Spinosaurus. David M. Martill combines subjects such as Sedimentary depositional environment, Sequence stratigraphy and Pyrite with his study of Taphonomy.
