Universidad Nacional de Colombia in 1963, and his PhD in paleontology from the
University of California, Berkeley in 1975.

Biography
The first publication by Etayo was about Codakia orbicularis
In 1962, Etayo Serna published his first work about the species

Etayo, together with fellow paleontologist
María Páramo , collaborated in describing the first
dinosaur fossil found in Colombia,
