 Lee E. Hall Paleontologist SWCA Environmental Consultants 150 N. Arroyo Parkway Pasadena, California 90016 lhall (at) swca (dot)com (12/15/2011): Artwork in a new paper. Introduction I am a paleontologist working primarily in the American southwest as a consultant on large construction and infrastructure projects. I spent 11 years leading field crews for the Museum of the Rockies in Montana, and am a recent graduate of the paleontology program at Montana State University in Bozeman. My research focuses on Late Jurassic dinosaur teeth from Ethiopia, sauropod claw function, basal ceratopsid evolution, and taphonomy. Be sure to have a look at my research experience, scientific (and not-so-scientific) illustrations, and photos from over a decade of field work! (Photo-I'm holding the jacketed syncervical of "T-tops", a partial Triceratops skeleton I found in the Hell Creek Formation in eastern Montana. This relatively thin but expansive outcrop has provided a lot of research-quality fossil material since the Hell Creek Project began in 1999. Through studying the taxa excavated from the Hell Creek, we are beginning to answer a lot of questions regarding the biology of dinosaurs: how did they change through ontogeny? How did they evolve? What was the ecology of Late Cretaceous North America like? Photo: Christian Heck-2010)
