Carlyle Campbell was born in 1896 and grew up in Knoxville, Iowa.
Campbell’s interest in natural history
arose when he came across a burial mound in
Nebraska while working for a telephone company
in 1926.
In 1934 Campbell uncovered a complete
mosasaur skeleton while doing some farm work in
Nebraska, which he later donated to the
Geology Department at Augustana College.
Campbell returmed to Knoxville in 1936
and collected many local fossils.
including microfossils called conodonts. Campbell developed a new
method for recovering conodonts from rocks known as
the Campbell Microfossil Washer.
He was also the first person to collect
conodonts from many rock formations in Iowa.
Campbell later worked on cephalopods, discovering new species, many specimens of which he donated to the University of
Iowa.
Campbell’s contact at Iowa was A.K.
Miller.
