I am Richard Dearden, a palaeobiologist interested in the the early evolution of vertebrates, in particular cartilaginous fishes (sharks, rays, and chimaeras). At the moment I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral researcher at Naturalis Biodiversity Center, the Dutch national natural history museum in Leiden.
This website gives an overview of me and my research, as well as more details on my Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action, DEADSharks.
