Faculty-student biology research team publishes findings in Palaois
A team of paleontology researchers led by Lycoming College has discovered a well-exposed section of the Catskill Formation in North-Central Pennsylvania that contains abundant macrofossils and sedimentary features that make it well-suited for Upper Devonian fossil occurrences. Their research, entitled, “Vertebrate Taphonomy, Paleontology, Sedimentology, and Palynology of a Fossiliferous Late Devonian Fluvial Succession, Catskill Formation, North-Central Pennsylvania, USA” was published in the December issue of
Palaios, an academic paleontology journal.
David Broussard, Ph.D., assistant professor of biology and chair of the department at Lycoming College, led the research and writing project in 2018-2019. He explained that by combining different types of evidence, including the abundance and types of fossils and changes in the rocks, it became evident that the paleoenvironments preserved at Late Devonian (~36
