John:
Can't speak for Vertebr. Paleo. people, but I was out of a Micropaleo. job
in 1969-72 Ph.D. job cruch. Best I could do with a brand new Ph.D. was
work as an instructor at a state college in NJ, followed by retraining as
a remote sensing expert(?) for 10-years work in space science. Can't
contribute much to the science and to the literature under those conditions.
