Dr. Anton's Rock-o-Rama
THE place for information-packed, mini field seminars on geology, paleontology, and modern sedimentary and ichnological processes! Whether you’re a curious amateur or a seasoned professional, there's something here to entertain, educate, and inspire you to get outside and make friends with rocks!
The videos are college and industry level courses distilled into bite-sized modules; often versions of courses I’m currently teaching for students and professionals. I'll also take you along as I do field and lab-based research on a variety of ongoing paleontological and sedimentological projects! There’s even a few wildlife encounters because they’re always fun.
I’m Dr. Anton Wroblewski, a sedimentologist and paleontologist with over 28 years of teaching experience at university level (U. of Wyoming, U. of Utah, and Northeastern Illinois U.) and a 16 year energy industry career spanning the globe. Let’s do some science!
