- Adjunct Associate, Palaeontology, Flinders University
Sam's academic career began studying undergraduate arts and science at Flinders, with a brief sojourn into GIS at TAFE. Undertaking honours in 2010-2011, he looked at scratch marks in Tight Entrance Cave, WA, concluding them to likely be formed by Thylacoleo the 'marsupial lion' and Sarcophilus the 'tasmanian devil'. Beginning a PhD in August 2011, His 2017 PhD thesis looked at diets of kangaroos through Dental Microwear Texture Analysis of kangaroos and what it can tell us about ecology and extinction in South Australian Pleistocene ecosystems. He now works at Megafauna Central, Alice Springs.
