Between 2014 and 2019, he studied Geology at the University in Greifswald (B.Sc.) and Geobiology & Paleobiology at the LMU in Munich (M.Sc.). From 2019 on, he worked on his dissertation about fossil skull material of non-avian dinosaurs which was finished in Greifswald, 2022.

Oliver Rauhut mainly works on dinosaur anatomy and evolution, but is interested in everything to do with Mesozoic terrestrial ecosystems. He got a diploma from the Free University of Berlin in 1995 and a PhD from the University of Bristol in 2000. As postdoc at the Museo Paleontológico Egidio Feruglio in Trelew, Argentina, he initiated an extensive fieldwork project in Jurassic rocks of Chubut Province, Argentina, which has yielded abundant new data on Jurassic terrestrial ecosystmens in South America. Since taking on the job as curator of lower vertebrates at the Bavarian State Collection for Palaeontology in Munich in 2004, he has increasingly also worked on basal archosauriform anatomy and systematics. Since 2007 he furthermore holds a post as adjunct professor at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich.

Christian Foth is a palaeozoologist specialized in reptile evolution with a focus on the origin of birds. He got a Diploma from the University of Rostock in 2009 and a PhD from the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich in 2013. He further worked at the State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart and the University of Fribourg in Switzerland, where he gained a state doctorate. Beside his contributions to early bird evolution, he further worked on turtles and basal archosaurs using phylogenetic comparative analyses.
