Field Work Experience
1969 Summer, Yale University sponsored field trip to Oligocene
mammal beds in northwestern Nebraska. Collected numerous partial and
complete mammal skeletons and skull bones, including the first complete
skeleton of Daphaenocyon dodgei, which was prepared and exhibited at the
Yale Peabody Museum. http://www.sunstar-solutions.com/AOP/SOW/vpaleo.htm
1969-1970, quarried and excavated an Early Jurassic
lacustrine fish bed in the Hartford basin, Connecticut, with Nicholas
McDonald. Prepared numerous fish specimens, some for exhibit at the Rocky
Hill Dinosaur Park in Connecticut. Most of the fish specimens are now at
the American Museum of Natural History, and many have been used in various
scientific publications by various authors.

1981-1982; 1985-1986, wildcat oil drilling in the Triassic
Richmond basin of Virginia. Described and analyzed thousands of feet of
strata using well cuttings and electric logs.
http://sunstar-solutions.com/AOP/SOW/geminoil.htm
1988-1993, extensive field work in the Newark basin of New
Jersey and in the Richmond basin of Virginia, mapping strata and collecting
fossils. Wellsite geologist for the Newark Basin Coring Project: Described,
photographed, and analyzed over 21,000 feet of strata from seven coreholes (1990-1993). http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~polsen/nbcp/nbcp.html
