Forensic Geologists
• A forensic geologist identifies, analyzes, and compares earth materials, such as soil, rocks, minerals, and fossils found on or in a suspect, a vehicle or other medium of transfer, such as water, to possible source areas such as a crime scene, an alibi location, and/or a point of disposal or release. The goal of these comparisons is to establish the degree of probability that the material was or was not derived from a particular location (www.geoforensics.com).
