We’re excited to share that Dr. Robin O’Keefe and Robbie Clark, along with former Biological Sciences students Anna Perella and Elliott Armour Smith, have just published a major paleontology discovery—a brand-new genus of plesiosaur from Canada!
This newly identified marine reptile adds a fresh chapter to our understanding of prehistoric life in North America. Their research appears in the Journal of Systematic Palaeontology and highlights the rich diversity of these long-necked marine reptiles that once swam the ancient seas.

Congratulations to Dr. O’Keefe, Robbie, Anna, and Elliott on this fantastic achievement! We love seeing Biology scientists—past and present—make waves in the world of research.
