  • Anthony J. Martin is a paleontologist who has taught at Emory University since the early 1990s. He is best known for his books, An Introduction to the Study of Dinosaurs, Life Traces of the Georgia Coast and Dinosaurs without Bones He is married to artist Ruth Schowalter. Martin's main area of expertise is ichnology, the study of animal activity in modern and ancient sediments. He studied dwarf fossil faunas under at Miami University and Ordovician trace fossils under at the University of Georgia. Both Pryor and Frey emphasized the need for ichnologists to study modern traces in order to understand trace fossils, and Martin took this to heart. He honed his tracking skills in several field schools with emphasis on modern vertebrate ichnology. Having run numerous field trips and field courses on Sapelo Island, Georgia and San Salvador Island together with Emory colleague Stephen W. Henderson, Martin developed the experience necessary for books on Trace Fossils of San Salvador and Life Traces of the Georgia Coast. Martin has visited Australia several times to lecture at Monash University and to collaborate with researchers there, e.g., on the ichnology of polar dinosaurs and the oldest known fossils of crayfish. In the United States, he was part of the team that discovered the first known dinosaur burrow. He has also written several times on the ichnology of modern and fossil arthropods, including the modern ghost crab Ocypode quadrata and the Paleozoic trace fossils and Nereites.Martin is a proactive educator who uses the Web for education well beyond his Emory venue, notably by blogging, e.g., as the PaleoPoet and currently as author of "Life Traces of the Georgia Coast: Unseen Lives of the Georgia Barrier Islands".
