Shawn Greggory Wiedrick
Assistant Collections Manager, Invertebrate Paleontology
Shawn earned a masters degree at the California State University, Fullerton studying the morphology and molecular systematics of the eastern Pacific Paciocinebrina Houart, Vermeij & Wiedrick, 2019. He was mentored by the late James Hamilton McLean (LACM) and has interests in most recent mollusks, in particular, gastropods. He has published mostly on microscopic turriform-conoideans and Muricidae, but has a broad taxonomic expertise that has provided quality assurance for LACM specimen vouchers. He leads day-to-day digitization efforts for our NSF-funded EPICC-TCN project, and recruits, schedules, and trains our growing team of student interns and volunteers.
