Meet the Team Eric Hilton, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Research Scientist, The Field Museum Dr. Eric Hilton studies the similarities and differences in the skeletons of living and fossil fishes. His dissertation at the University of Massachusetts Amherst focused on bony-tongue fishes, including mooneyes, clown knifefishes, elephant-nose fishes, and arowanas. Together with Drs. Lance Grande and Willy Bemis, Eric is currently studying living and fossil sturgeons. This is Eric's third expedition collecting Green River fossils for The Field Museum. In addition to helping excavate fossils, Eric will be in charge of maintaining contact between the field site and expeditions@fieldmuseum.™ Terry Grande, Ph.D. Research Associate, The Field Museum and Associate Professor of Biology, Loyola University Chicago Dr. Terry Grande studies the skeletons of both fossil and living fishes, including catfishes and a little-known group called Gonorhynchiformes, which includes the milkfish and sandfishes. Terry and her students are currently studying the skeletal development of pikes and pickerels, as well as using DNA to study the relationships between these species. Terry has worked extensively on Notogoneus, a gonorhynchiform fish from the Green River Formation. Terry's knowledge and skills will be used to help locate and excavate fossils.
