Pliosaurs are an extinct group of Mesozoic marine reptiles,                known largely from Jurassic and Cretaceous deposits of North                    America and Europe.  Graduate student R. T. Zanon proposes an                   evolutionary synthesis of the group based on study of museum                    specimens.  Analysis of morphological data will give a new and                  consistent insight into evolutionary relationships within the                   group, and with other extinct and living amniotes.                                   The proposed project has implications beyond the immediate                 taxonomic group.  The research will bring together an ambitious                 data set from time periods and geographic regions too long                      separated by scientific specialization.  A clearer picture of                   reptile evolution will appear, opening the way for new                          understanding of adaptations to the marine realm.
