Anthony Fuentes

Anthony’s research is focused on how using paleomagnetic records to advance understanding of ancient environments. His past magnetostratigraphy research has advanced understanding of the timescale of biotic recovery across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary. In the Swanson-Hysell Group, he is extending records of late Mesoproterozoic paleogeographic change using hematite-bearing sedimentary rocks of the Freda Formation. He is also developing exciting new constraints on the timing of hematite enrichment with iron formation of northern Michigan using paleomagnetism and radiogenic isotope geochemistry. This work seeks to develop capacity to apply hematite U-Pb to more lithologies including detrital hematite in sedimentary rocks.
