Życiorys
W 1963 ukończył Oberlin College w Ohio, w 1965 Uniwersytet Harvarda, gdzie w 1968 obronił także doktorat. Od 1968 pracuje na Uniwersytecie Kalifornijskim, obecnie na stanowisku profesora paleobiologii.
W 1992 i 1993 opisał najstarsze znane skamieniałości na świecie, pochodzące z Apex Chert w Australii. W okresie 1969–1974 badał dla NASA próbki z Księżyca, a później także z niektórych meteorytów, pod kątem ich geochemii i obecności substancji organicznych.
W Polsce wydano jego książkę Kolebka życia (PWN, 2002)

Flag of the United States.svg
The flag of Navassa Island is simply the United States flag. It does not have a "local" flag or "unofficial" flag; it is an uninhabited island. The version with a profile view was based on Flags of the World and as a fictional design has no status warranting a place on any Wiki. It was made up by a random person with no connection to the island, it has never flown on the island, and it has never received any sort of recognition or validation by any authority. The person quoted on that page has no authority to bestow a flag, "unofficial" or otherwise, on the island.
