Technical Publications List

These are my publications that have appeared in refereed, technical journals. They mostly deal with fossil crocodiles but also the management of vertebrate palaeontological sites and natural history. References to my thesis and various technical reports that I have produced are also provided.

I do have copies of some of these articles. If you are interested, contact Paul Willis.
