Mark McMenamin
About
Mark McMenamin is a professor of geology at Mount Holyoke College. His main research interests are early fossil life, particularly the Ediacaran biota. He is the author of several books, most recently The Garden of Ediacara: Discovering the Earliest Complex Life and Science 101: Geology. He is credited with co-naming several geological formations in Mexico, describing several new fossil genera and species, and naming the Precambrian supercontinent Rodinia. The Cambrian archeocyathid species Markocyathus clementensis was named in his honor in 1989. His work on the paleoecology of the Cambrian explosion showed that trilobites belonging to the Agnostida may have had a predatory lifestyle. McMenamin's research on the Phoenician world map helped to inspire Clive Cussler and Paul Kemprecos's 2007 novel The Navigator.
