This ACS-funded project is focused on the lateral changes in the expression of the unconformity surface and overlying red crust intersecting Cambrian successions of South Australia and is the subject of Clara Wong's MS thesis.
This NSF-funded project explores paleoenvironmental and taphonomic impacts on SSF datasets and forms the basis of one of Eury Speir’s PhD projects.
This project will form the basis of Clare Mate's forthcoming MS project.
This is an undergraduate project examining Cretaceous fish coprolites from Kansas and the taphonomic variation of constituents therein.
If research is your jam, I have a number of potential projects appropriate for undergraduate and graduate-level research. From Late Cambrian echinoid encrusted hardgrounds in SE Missouri, to Mesozoic fish coprolites from Kansas, to even some Middle Cambrian small shelly fossils from Queensland in Australia, and many more.
Or you can develop your own project!
If a lab experience (and a chance to hang with a bunch of paleontologists) is more up your alley, look no further! There are several opportunities to help out in the lab, from taking photos of fossils, picking microfossils under a microscope, to making 3D models online. Check out MizzoμX for our growing repository of virtual collections.
Together with several colleagues, we are also planning to curate, digitize, and publicize the Missouri University Paleontological and Mineral Collections, plus core teaching collections.
If any of this sounds interesting and you would like to get involved please contact me.
