Invertebrate Paleontologist


Buffalopterus

Recommended Posts

I am a new member from New York State and have been referred to join Fossil Forum by a very good friend of mine who goes by Darktooth. I graduated from SUNY Fredonia in 1989 with an MS in the Geological Sciences. My research has focused on Middle Devonian paleontology and stratigraphy of the Finger Lakes region of New York State. Moreover I have conducted research in the taphonomy and paleoecology of Silurian eurypterids in New York and southwestern Ontario, Canada. Most recently, I have been digitizing the Devonian fossil and lithostratigraphic collections housed at the Paleontological Research Institution in Ithaca, NY. And most importantly, I am very active in field collecting, fossil preparation and giving presentations.

My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Thank you for the warm welcome. I am new with this, so I hope everyone receives this message. I will definitely contribute but it will be in spurts as I find and prep my fossils. 

Looking forward to the community with similar interests whether its Cambrian to Pleistocene and everything in between.

 

Stephen
