What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Paleontology
- Sedimentary rock
- Ecology
Paleontology, Trace fossil, Zoophycos, Sediment and Ichnofacies are his primary areas of study.
Sedimentary rock, Ichnology, Rhizocorallium, Thalassinoides and Burrow are the core of his Paleontology study.
His study looks at the relationship between Rhizocorallium and topics such as Geochemistry, which overlap with Structural basin.
His Trace fossil research incorporates elements of Helminthopsis and Cretaceous.
His Sediment research incorporates themes from Holocene, Mixed layer, Chronology and Diagenesis.
His research integrates issues of Ichnotaxon and Bathymetry in his study of Ichnofacies.
His most cited work include:
- Ichnology: The Use of Trace Fossils in Sedimentology and Stratigraphy (411 citations)
- Chondrites: A Trace Fossil Indicator of Anoxia in Sediments (374 citations)
- Paleoecology of the marine endobenthos (230 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Trace fossil, Ichnofacies, Sedimentary rock and Cretaceous.
Burrow, Bioturbation, Zoophycos, Ichnology and Planolites are the subjects of his Paleontology studies.
His studies in Planolites integrate themes in fields like Deep sea, Skolithos and Benthic zone.
His Trace fossil study incorporates themes from Sedimentary depositional environment, Ophiomorpha and Thalassinoides.
The Ichnofacies study combines topics in areas such as Eolianite and Turbidity current.
His Sedimentary rock course of study focuses on Sediment and Invertebrate, Seabed, Hummocky cross-stratification and Cenozoic.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (84.85%)
- Trace fossil (68.18%)
- Ichnofacies (24.24%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2020)?
- Trace fossil (68.18%)
- Paleontology (84.85%)
- Burrow (15.15%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Allan A. Ekdale mainly investigates Trace fossil, Paleontology, Burrow, Ichnology and Type locality.
His research in Trace fossil tackles topics such as Cretaceous which are related to areas like Cenozoic and Hummocky cross-stratification.
His Paleontology study frequently involves adjacent topics like Invertebrate.
His work deals with themes such as Animal activity, Spider and Fossil Record, which intersect with Burrow.
Allan A. Ekdale combines subjects such as Ecology, Polychaete and Predation with his study of Ichnology.
His Sediment study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sedimentary depositional environment, Sedimentary basin and Diagenesis.
Between 2008 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- The Ichnofabric Concept (42 citations)
- Paleoethologic significance of bioglyphs: Fingerprints of the subterraneans (41 citations)
- Mineralogy and Geochemistry of the Main Glauconite Bed in the Middle Eocene of Texas: Paleoenvironmental Implications for the Verdine Facies (18 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Sedimentary rock
- Ecology
Allan A. Ekdale mainly focuses on Paleontology, Trace fossil, Sedimentary depositional environment, Burrow and Animal activity.
His study in Paleontology focuses on Sedimentary basin, Lithification, Bioturbation, Diagenesis and Sediment.
Much of his study explores Trace fossil relationship to Sedimentary rock.
His Sedimentary depositional environment research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Geochemistry, Clay minerals, Glauconite and Mineralogy.
