Lee Spencer

Vertebrate Paleontology

General Interests

Lee Spencer’s interests include Cenozoic mammalian biochronology, Mesozoic taphonomy and paleobiology, and Flood modeling. He is working on a textbook for comparative vertebrate anatomy and is a member of a team working on the historical geology of North America from a creationist’s point of view.

Current Research

Current research activities include taphonomy of a Late Cretaceous bone bed in the Lance Formation and dinosaur eggshell morphology from Argentina
