Research Interests
My research interests include micropaleontology, biostratigraphy,
and organic geochemistry. Current research includes: 1) Upper
Cretaceous non-marine Ostracoda from North Horn Fm., Utah and
2) origin of shale gas deposits, mid-continent USA.
Following retirement in 1986, I have worked on materials that
remained in my collections from earlier field work. A recently
published book deals with fossil nonmarine Ostracoda of the
USA. Over 500 species are covered, from Devonian to Pleistocene
- their stratigraphic distribution, paleoecology, and morphologic
characteristics.
Certain proprietary research projects, cited in complete departmental
biography, were later released for publication and provided
thesis subjects for graduate students.
