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
