by West Texas State University. Geological Society
Organized in 1958 by students in the Department of Geology at West Texas State University, this Geological Society was created to encourage interest in geology as a field of study and as a profession.
It is best known here as the credited author of Guidebook of Palo Duro Canyon, a compact educational work that introduces readers to the canyon’s geology, ecology, paleontology, and human history. The book has been circulated in later reprints and digital editions, helping preserve a student-driven contribution to regional geoscience.
Because this is an institutional author rather than a single person, detailed biographical information is limited. A clear portrait of a specific individual is not available, so no author photo is included.
