Tyler Hunt's research focuses on the paleontology and biomechanics of teeth and dental tissues in dinosaurs and fossil mammals, examining how tooth structure relates to diet, wear, and evolutionary function. This work draws on paleoecology, sedimentology of fossil-bearing rock formations (such as the Morrison Formation), and comparative studies of modern animal dental tissues (e.g., beavers) to understand ancient feeding behavior and environments. A student joining this group would likely engage with fossil description, dental microstructure analysis, and depositional environment reconstruction.
Publication output peaked around 2018-2019 and has since become more modest and irregular, averaging under two papers per year over the last five years.
