Personal profile

My name is Dr. Max Christie, I'm a paleontologist and stratigrapher who loves to teach!

I’m interested in how extinction affects ecosystems, especially in terms of how organisms function within their community. Right now, I’m working on an extinction event that happened about 2.5 million years ago and affected marine animals up and down the southeastern coast of the United States.

In my work I use principles of stratigraphy, ecology, and statistics to figure out how ecosystems have changed through time. If you’re interested in fossils, you should come talk to me!
