Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences (2018) from the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU) and a Master's degree in Sciences from the Comparative Biology program at USP Ribeirão Preto in 2021. Currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Comparative Biology program at USP Ribeirão Preto and the University of Toronto (Canada) in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology program, under the "Joint Educational Placement" modality. Works in the field of vertebrate paleontology and dental paleohistology, focusing on the origin and evolution of Thecodonty in Archosauromorpha. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The recently published paper of Mestriner et al. (2022) challenged the idea that Silesauridae had a simple permanent ankylothecodont dentition, because their teeth spend considerable time attached to the jaws via a non-mineralised periodontal ligament (gomphosis) prior to being fused in place. This condition is known as "delayed ankylosis", with teeth passing through an extended stage in …
The research plan presented contemplates the preparation and description of silesaurid materials collected in Cerro da Alemoa, near Santa Maria, RS, at the upper levels of the Upper Triassic Santa Maria Formation. The material consists of partial jaws containing teeth, vertebrae, ribs, ilia, femora, tibiae, fibulae and pedal elements. Simultaneously, computer tomography, scanning electron…

The phylogenetic relationships of silesaurids among Dinosauriformes are still controversial. They are usually recovered as sister-group of Dinosauria, whereas other topologies have placed Silesauridae within Ornithischia. Osteohistological analyses of dinosaurs have contributed to the comprehension of evolutionary significance of tooth attachment tissues in early dinosaurs. Tooth attachme…
