Your Field Trip Guide: The Indiana Jones of Geology
My name is Mark Finkbeiner, and I have been teaching geology, electronics, and general science since 2005. I completed the two-year Electronics Technician program at George Brown Polytechnic. I have been leading guided geology field trips across the Pacific Northwest since 2010, including fossil-hunting expeditions in Glendive, Montana, in search of dinosaur bones and other fossils.
In 2014, I founded a school, Mark's Academy of Science, focusing on "Geology and Earth History" and "Electronics Technology". Over the years, I have also presented Bible and science demonstrations—including technical physics, chemistry, and electrical demos—to inspire kids to love both science and the Bible.
My three main areas of expertise are Central Washington Geology, the John Day Fossil Beds, and the Belt Supergroup of Northern Idaho and Montana. Since 2008, I have operated the Creation Science Club and hosted a creation science TV program for three years called Creation Foundations. While I have taken college-level geology courses, most of my expertise is self-taught through extensive field experience and learning from other geologists.
