Administrative History Note

In 1985 Vincent Santucci began his National Park Service (NPS) career as a seasonal ranger with expertise in geology and paleontology at Badlands National Park. Santucci spent long hours learning about the Badlands, reading extensively, tagging along with summer geology and paleontology field camps, and corresponding with well-published paleontology experts like Morris Skinner and John Clark. In 1986 he attended the first Federal Paleontology Conference where a speaker announced that 12 national parks had paleontological resources. Hearing that, Santucci recognized that the NPS and park staff were largely unaware of the breadth and depth of these resources. Motivated to gather and make available better data, he reached out to park staff and colleagues, conducted literature reviews, and visited other repositories to establish the accurate count of NPS sites with paleontological resources. More than 275 national parks, monuments, and historic sites are now known to have them.

In 1998 Santucci began officially working on Servicewide palenontology through a job share with Fossil Butte National Park and the Geological Resources Division in the Washington office. Later, the NPS formally established the NPS Paleontology Program with Santucci as the senior paleontologist. In May 2008 Santucci added Justin Tweet to the program's team, working through the GeoCorps America program. He also collaborated with colleagues, interns, and others throughout the NPS and academia to achieve his program goals. Tweet became an NPS employee in the NPS Paleontology Program in December 2023.

Notable among the Paleontology Program's accomplishments are the creation of baseline inventory data; efforts to protect paleontological specimens from illegal collecting; support for passage of the Paleontological Resources Protect Act; and public education and outreach efforts such as the annual National Fossil Day and the Junior Paleontologist program.

Scope and Content Note

Correspondence, research notes, reports, and publications related to geological and paleontological resources in national park units. Includes historical publications from numerous sources collected during data mining efforts. Several different types on inventories, including geological inventories, Inventory & Monitoring (I&M) Networks inventories, thematic inventories, and others are present. Digital audio files and transcripts from oral history interviews with NPS and other paleontologists about NPS paleontological resources is included. Servicewide files include correspondence, reports, and other materials addressing paleontological issues across the NPS. Topics include resource management, legal issues, commercial fossil collecting, the Paleontological Resource Protection Act, and educational activities such as National Fossil Day and the Junior Paleontogist program. Records of NPS Senior Paleontologist Vincent Santucci, from throughout his NPS career, are present.

Administrative History Note

In 1985 Seasonal Park Ranger Vincent Santucci began accumulating geology and paleontology records for the area within and around Badlands National Park. As Santucci's servicewide responsibilities increased over the next twenty years, and driven by a personal desire to document fossils in as many national parks as possible, he expanded this resource to encompass 275 parks, reaching out to NPS staff and other colleagues, conducting literature reviews, researching specimens in museum collections, and documenting parks with paleontological resources. Over time, digital files were compiled as technological changes made it easy to acquire or produce electronic records. When Santucci became the NPS senior paleontologist in 2009, these documents formed the core of park research and reference files for the new Paleontology Program.

Scope and Content Note

Paleontological and geological records from over 275 parks, including publications, reports, drafts, notes, web articles, news clippings, magazines, correspondence, abstracts and bibliographies, permits, project proposals, inventories, museum collections, park Unigrid brochures, photographs, inventories, maps and stratigraphy, and other graphics. Most materials have been scanned; brochures, loose business cards, photographic materials, bookmarks, oversized maps, park newspapers, and magazine articles not pertaining directly to paleontology or geology have not been scanned.

Restricted records (noted as such) containing sensitive paleontological site location information may not be accessed without written permission from the NPS senior paleontologist.

Email correspondence, geologic inventory meeting and workshop summaries, research notes, gray literature, publications, bibliographies, and draft reports are present for some networks.

Subseries II.A: Geologic Resource Inventory (GRI) Reports, 2004-2024

Volume of Subseries: 9.0 LF
Arranged alphabetically by park name.

Administrative History Note

The National Park Service (NPS) began Servicewide Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) in 1992 with four prototype parks and one employee, guided by an advisory committee. Although NPS-75 established the I&M Program’s mission, goals, and framework, the program lacked the funding necessary to develop significantly beyond the four initial parks. Strong NPS leadership and bipartisan Congressional support for science-based management of national parks led to Natural Resource Challenge funding in 2000. As a result, a new I&M Division was formed within the NPS Natural Resources Stewardship and Science directorate and more than 280 parks with significant natural resources were grouped into 32 "networks" based on geography and common natural resource characteristics. Twelve basic inventories, including one focused on park geologic resources, were identified as priorities to help the NPS better understand and manage park natural resources.

The Geologic Resource Inventory (GRI) is a collaboration between the I&M Network and Colorado State University. The GRI team, working closely with a variety of partners, planned to provide each of the 270 natural area parks with a geologic scoping meeting, digital geologic map data and poster, and a park-specific geologic report. These products are designed to enhance stewardship of park resources by providing valuable information about geologic formations, hazards, and links between geology, history, and other natural resources. Often, the inventories facilitate the collection of new data and additional fieldwork to complement existing information. The first GRI reports were completed in 2004. As of 2022, 187 reports have been completed.

Scope and Content Note

Subseries II.B: Inventory & Monitoring (I&M) Network Reports, 1989, 2002-2022 (bulk dates: 2002-2016)

Volume of Subseries: 1.9 LF
Arranged alphabetically by Inventory & Monitoring Network code.

Administrative History Note

When the NPS Inventory & Monitoring (I&M) Program identified its 12 basic inventory needs in 2000, many types of natural resources were excluded due to funding limitations, including paleontological resources. Pressure from managers of excluded resources caused the I&M Network to take a hard line against requests for additional inventory categories. Despite this, the NPS Geologic Resources Division was able to successfully advocate for the addition of a 13th inventory for paleontological resources.

Beginning in 2002 the Geologic Resources Division and the I&M Program partnered to conduct paleontological resource inventories for parks in all 32 I&M networks. These reports inform park managers, scientists, stakeholders, and the public about the existence of paleontological resources, their condition, and any factors and/or activities that threaten them. of the paleontological resource inventories for the 32 networks were completed by January 2012.

Scope and Content Note

Reports containing paleontology inventory data for each park with a given I&M Network. Reports compile extensive literature reviews, interviews with park staff, geologists, and paleontologists, and provide baseline paleontology resource data and preliminary recommendations for resource management. Tables, maps, and geologic time scales are included. Email correspondence, geologic inventory meeting and workshop summaries, research notes, gray literature, publications, bibliographies, and draft reports are present for some networks.

Subseries II.D: Park-specific Inventories, 2004-2020 (bulk dates: 2014-2020)

Volume of the Subseries: 1.4 LF
Arranged alphabetically by park code.

Administrative History Note

The inventories were created to identify known paleontological resources within a given park, establishing baseline data for future resource management, research, and monitoring. Extensive field surveys, literature reviews, and examinations of museum specimen data were conducted. These inventories were made possible through the collaboration of specialists within the NPS, educational institutions, and others. Another function of the park -specific inventories is that they serve as paleontology-specific training for park staff.

Scope and Content Note

Park-specific inventory reports provide comprehensive information about the known paleontological resources within a park, including geological, paleontological, and scientific history, resource management, museum curation, law enforcement, and interpretation. Most park-specific inventories are restricted (marked as such) as they contain sensitive paleontological site locations. Written permission from the NPS Senior Paleontologist is required to access those materials. Public versions without sensitive information are present for some inventories.

Subseries II.E: Geologic Type Section Inventories, 2020-2021

Volume of the Subseries: 0.4 LF
Arranged alphabetically by I&M Network code.

Administrative History Note

The NPS Geological Resources Division completed a series of reports to highlight geologic features (or “stratotypes”) of parks. These inventories document geologic type sections that are within NPS areas. Geologic type sections have not been previously inventoried and these inventories provide baseline data for this geologic resource category.

Scope and Content Note

Reports documenting geologic type sections within specific parks. Reports include figures, tables, photographs, maps, and GIS data at the network-level and at the park-level.
