Fabio Marco Dalla Vecchia
A graduate of the University of Bologna, he gained a Ph.D. in palaeontology at the University of Modena with a thesis on the study of Triassic pterosaurs. F. M. Dalla Vecchia has made a significant contribution to the study of pterosaurs and has associations with important museums. He is palaeontological consultant for the Museo Friulano di Storia Naturale (Udine, Italy) and the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Trieste. The pterosaur bibliography contents represents a small proportion of publications, many of which are on dinosaurs.
