Bounded on either side by mass extinctions, and well known for its strange creatures, the Triassic was a time of transition, hardship, and evolutionary experimentation.

My love for dinosaurs started at a young age when I stumbled upon an old book with captivating illustrations of these prehistoric creatures.

Dinosaurs have been a lifelong passion for me, serving as one of the main pillars in my life.

During his tenure as a Scientific Assistant at the University of Vienna’s Paleobiology department, Fabrizio undertook a significant project: the life reconstruction of the Austrian nodosaurid ankylosaur, Struthiosaurus austriacus.

Beginning in the aftermath of the Triassic Extinction, life in the Jurassic bounced back in a BIG way, producing some of the most iconic creatures to ever live, and seeing the dinosaurs rise to ecological supremacy on land.

Could dinosaurs ever come back? Could we bring back any extinct creature for that matter? As genetics and other forms of biological research advance, it is becoming an ever more real possibility, and for all the excitement about those possibilities, deextinction also brings with it a unique set of ethical and environmental considerations.
