Anthony R. Fiorillo is Curator of Earth Sciences at the Perot Museum of Nature & Science.[1] A native of Connecticut, he received his bachelor's at the University of Connecticut, his master's at the University of Nebraska and a Ph.D. in Vertebrate Paleontology from the University of Pennsylvania.[2]
Career
Dr. Fiorillo worked on his Rea Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and later as a scientist at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1995 he became a curator at the Dallas Museum of Natural History (now the Perot Museum of Nature and Science). He currently works at the museum and as an adjunct associate professor of Paleontology at Southern Methodist University.[1] He has worked with the National Park Service in several national park units including Big Bend National Park, Denali National Park, Aniakchak National Monument, and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park to identify, study and preserve dinosaur fossils found. He has also traveled around the United States and to parts of Asia, Australia, and South America in order to further his research.
