The Laboratorio de Paleontología de Vertebrados de la Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia San Juan Bosco
for more than three decades has been systematically working in Cretaceous outcrops from the southcentral of Chubut and north of Santa Cruz. During all this time, the laboratory added to the knowledge on the paleoecologic dynamic of the vertebrate fauna, particularly, dinosaurs. The work and effort, not only allowed increasing the knowledge, but also the interaction with local and foreign colleagues and institutions. Thus, the laboratory, trough new research lines and projects continue working with the aim to contribute to the development of the Paleontology in general and the Paleoherpetology in particular of Argentina.
