Stephanie Drumheller is a Lecturer in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She holds a B.S. in geology from the University of Tennessee and a Ph.D in Geoscience from the University of Iowa. Her research focuses on the taphonomy of a variety of reptilian clades with an emphasis on the earliest stages of decomposition and biologically mediated alteration of remains.

Hannah Maddox is a Masters student of geology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, studying paleontology and taphonomy. She holds a B.S. in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Tennessee. Her previous research has focused on ontogeny and paleopathology, and her current work focuses on reptile decomposition and how it relates to the unique taphonomy of "dinosaur mummies."

Michelle Stocker is an Assistant Professor in Paleobiology at Virginia Tech. She received a B.S. in Geological Sciences from the University of Michigan, a M.S. from the University of Iowa, and her Ph.D. in Geological Sciences from The University of Texas at Austin. Her lab group uses a three-pronged approach of fieldwork, dissection, and CT data to examine the morphological evolution of vertebrates. Some of her major focuses are on convergent evolution across timescales, ecomorphology, and the diversification of the Triassic fauna.
Christopher R. Noto. Department of Biological Sciences, University of Wisconsin - Parkside, Kenosha, Wisconsin, 53141, USA. noto@uwp.edu
Christopher Noto is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences. He holds a B.S in Geophysical Sciences from the University of Chicago and Ph.D in Ecology and Evolution from Stony Brook University. His research focuses on various aspects related to paleoecology, including taphonomy, functional morphology, and comparative anatomy with particular interest in Mesozoic terrestrial ecosystems. Since 2010 his research work has centered around describing the flora, fauna, and paleoenvironments of a diverse fossil locality called the Arlington Archosaur Site near Dallas, Texas.
