Research Interests

My interest is in inferring evolutionary and sedimentary patterns and processes using fossil and living organisms. My current research involves marine biofouling, functional morphology, and carbonate production rates of bryozoans.

Bryozoans

Cool water carbonate production rates

Evolution of epibiosis

Biomechanics of bryozoan feeding

Geoarcheology of the Colonial and Prehistoric Davis Site, Virginia

Appraisal of fossil collections – I evaluate the value of fossil collections for estate settlements, making tax deductible gift donations, etc.
