The Dinosaur Quarry. Dinosaur National Monument, Colorado-Utah

A writer and museum field worker with deep ties to Dinosaur National Monument, he helped bring one of America’s great fossil sites to a wider audience. His work sits at the crossroads of paleontology, public history, and the excitement of discovery.

A pioneering American paleontologist and zooarchaeologist, he helped show how animal remains can reveal the way people lived in the past. His work also shaped methods archaeologists still use to study bone collections.
