Research interests
Thomas' research focuses on Taphonomy - understanding the physical and chemical processes of fossilisation. His primary research interests are 1) understanding the processes that control authigenic mineral replacement of soft tissues, 2) taxon specific fossilisation biases, 3) the preservational pathways of labile tissues and 4) the impact of paleogeography on Lagerstätten deposits.
Thomas is currently a Leverhulme Research Fellow investigating how taphonomic processes may bias our understanding of animal recovery after mass extinctions.
