Michael James Benton OBE FRS FRSE [3] [4] [2] vertebrate palaeontology in the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol .[5] [6] [7] Triassic reptiles but he has also worked on extinction events and faunal changes in the fossil record.[1] [8] [9]
Education [ edit ]
Benton was educated at Robert Gordon's College , [citation needed the University of Aberdeen [2] Newcastle University where he was awarded a PhD in 1981.[10] [11]
Research and career [ edit ]
Benton's research investigates palaeobiology , palaeontology , and macroevolution .[1] [12] [13] [14] phylogeny , basal archosaurs , and the origin of the dinosaurs. He has made fundamental contributions to understanding the history of life, particularly concerning how biodiversity changes through time.[3] [3] [3] Permian–Triassic extinction event , the largest mass extinction of all time, which took place over 250 million years ago, where he investigates how life was able to recover from such a devastating event.[3]
Benton is the author of several palaeontology text books (e.g. Vertebrate Palaeontology [15] [1] [16] [17] [18] [19] Walking with Dinosaurs Paleoworld on Discovery Science . He also contributed to the 2002 BBC programme The Day The Earth Nearly Died Permian extinction .
In December 2010, Benton had a rhynchosaur (Bentonyx [20]
Benton founded the Master of Science degree programme in Palaeobiology at Bristol in 1996, from which more than 300 students have graduated.[3] [3]
As the Initiator of the Bristol Dinosaur Project Brenton was also involved with creating and designing the website for the project.[21]

He was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2021 Birthday Honours for services to palaeontology and community engagement.[23]
