David Bottjer is a geobiologist who is interested in the paleoecology and paleobiology of animals and
microbes from the Precambrian to the Recent. He specializes in studying ocean systems and life, particularly the paleoecology of benthic
organisms, including organism-sediment interactions, the development of microbial sedimentary structures, and the analysis of non-actualistic
settings.
His recent research has focused primarily on understanding the evolution of animals in the Neoproterozoic and Cambrian,
as well the effects of the end-Permian and end-Triassic mass extinctions.

Special fields are: Palaeoecology, sedimentology, basin analysis, trace fossils, mass extinctions,
depositional environments, and related fields. I am a generalist, not a specialist - except for process and environmental sedimentology,
and palaeoecology. I am most familiar with the Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous periods but have also worked extensively in Lower
Palaeozoic passive margin successions. Regionally most of my work has been concentrated in North Europe and the North Sea, UK, East
and North Greenland and the Norwegian margin.and end-Triassic mass extinctions.
