…after World War II, science’s ability to map the ocean floor led to a flurry of geological sampling. At the time when the Marine Vertebrate Collection was taking formal shape, so too did the Geological Collection. William Riedel, a renowned micropaleontologist, became the first curator of the Collection in 1955…
