About the author

The West Texas State University Geological Society was a student organization in the university’s Department of Geology. According to the guidebook itself, the society was organized in 1958 to encourage interest in geology as both an academic subject and a professional path.

It is best known here as the credited author of Guidebook of Palo Duro Canyon, a work prepared as an educational resource on one of Texas’s most striking natural areas. The book brings together geology, ecology, and regional history in a way that suggests classroom learning shaped by field observation.
