Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MEEK, FIELDING BRADFORD (18171876) , American geologist and palaeontologist, the son of a lawyer, was born at Madison, Indiana, on the loth of December 1817. In early life he was in business as a merchant, but his leisure
hours
  were devoted to collecting fossils and studying the rocks of the neighbourhood of Madison. Being unsuccessful in business he turned his whole attention to science, and in 1848 he gained employment on the U.S.
Geological
  Survey in Iowa, and subsequently in
Wisconsin
  and Minnesota. In 1852 he became assistant to Professor James
Hall
  at Albany, and worked at palaeontology with him until 1858. Meanwhile in 1853 he accompanied Dr F. V. Hayden in an exploration of the " Bad Lands " of Dakota a.nd brought back valuable collections of fossils. In 1858 he went to Washington, where he devoted his time to the palaeontological
work
  of the United States
geological
  and geographical surveys, his
work
  bearing " the stamp of the most faithful and conscientious research," and raising him to the highest rank as' a palaeontologist. Besides many
separate
  contributions to science, he prepared with W. M. Gabb (28391878), two volumes on the palaeontology of California (18641869); and also a Report on the Invertebrate Cretaceous and Tertiary Fossils of the Upper Missouri Country (1876). He died at Washington, on the 22nd of December 1876.
