Invertebrate Paleontology
Invertebrate Paleontology is the study of prehistoric invertebrates by analyzing invertebrate fossils. Invertebrates are animals that lack a backbone.

I am an invertebrate paleontologist with a focus on the paleoecology and evolutionary relationships of trilobites. I mainly study the Middle to Late Ordovician trilobites of New York, Ontario, and Quebec but have recently started working on the Upper Cambrian trilobites of the Potsdam Sands
