Stéphane DUCROCQ
CNRS senior researcher
Main research question
My fields of interest mainly focus on the origin and evolutionary history of Anthracotheriidae and basal artiodactyls from the Old World.
Topics of study
Depuis quelques années je collabore également avec Jean-Jacques Jaeger et Olivier Chavasseau en étudiant le matériel paléogène d’artiodactyles de Pondaung (Myanmar) et de Na Duong (Vietnam).
Fieldworks
In that frame, I co-supervise field excavations in late Oligocene deposits in northern Kenya (Turkana) together with F. Lihoreau (ISEM).
Other responsibilities
- Membre de la commission de spécialistes Section 35/36.
