About the Coastal Paleontologist

Robert Boessenecker: California, United States; After living on the east coast for eight years, studying fossil cetaceans from the Oligocene rocks of Charleston, South Carolina, I’ve finally returned to the Pacific coast where I belong. Most of my recent research has focused on the study of toothed mysticetes like Coronodon and early odontocetes (dolphins) including xenorophids (e.g. Inermorostrum, Xenorophus), giant dolphins (Ankylorhiza), and spear-toothed dolphins (Waipatiidae). In June 2024 I will be returning to California and starting as the Colclough Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the San Diego Natural History Museum, where I will be studying Miocene and Pliocene baleen whales – and probably a few walruses as well.
