Jane Colwell-Danis
Jane Colwell-Danis (born in Fort Stockton, Texas in 1941) is the first formally-trained female vertebrate paleontologist in Canada and was known for finding numerous rare fossils in the southern Canadian prairies.
Her work in paleontology began in the late 1950s where a high school science teacher arranged a tour of the Paleontology Lab at the University of California Berkeley.〔 In 1965, she both graduated with a master's degree, having written a thesis on South American Miocene notoungulate mammals (i.e. Notoungulata),〔 and was hired at the newly formed vertebrate paleontology program at the University of Alberta (in Edmonton, Canada).〔Currie, P.J., and Koppelhus, E.B. (eds). 2005. Dinosaur Provincial Park: A Spectacular Ancient Ecosystem Revealed. Indiana University Press: Bloomington and Indianapolis, p.16〕
There, her work included curating the paleontology collection, where she found a box of samples found by George F. Sternberg in the early 1920s.〔 By relocating the site, she was able to find additional mammal material, making her the first academic to specifically examine microsites in Dinosaur Provincial Park〔 from a research perspective. Fossil hunting continued in the badlands of southern Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada where she later found the complete skull of the crocodile Leidyosuchus.〔 She currently volunteers at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology.
