Georgios Georgalis obtained his PhD at the University of Fribourg (Department of Geosciences), Switzerland in cotutelle with the University of Turin (Department of Earth Sciences), Italy, in 2018. His thesis was focusing on fossil reptiles from the Aegean region. His main research interests are the evolution, systematics, and biogeography of Cenozoic lizards, snakes, and turtles from the Western Palaearctic. He is currently a post-doc at the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Turin, Italy, focusing on Neogene herpetofaunas from southern Europe.

Massimo Delfino is a vertebrate paleontologist whose research activity is focused on the fossil record, morphology, taxonomy and biogeography of amphibians and reptiles. The main research lines are related to the contribution of the fossil record to the phylogeny of crocodylians and the evolution of the European and Mediterranean herpetological assemblages. He has collaborated to the identification and interpretation of herpetofaunistic assemblages associated to hominoid remains found in Eritrea, Georgia, Indonesia, Kenya, Italy, Oman, and Sudan.
