Frank Springer was known for his unusual professional duality, combining a legal career with a passion for paleontology.

Born in Wapello County in 1848, he dedicated much of his life to the scientific study of fossil crinoids.

His most recognized work, Uintacrinus, reflects his deep specialization in the fossil record of these echinoderms.
