Andrew J. Wendruff studies fossils from exceptionally well-preserved deposits (called Lagerstätten) dating mainly to the Silurian and Pennsylvanian periods, including ancient scorpions, eurypterids (extinct sea scorpions), leeches, arthropods, and fish. This work combines paleontology (the study of ancient life through fossils) with taphonomy (how organisms become fossilized) to understand the biology and preservation of these ancient organisms and their environments. A prospective student would likely work on describing new fossil specimens and interpreting how they lived and died based on preserved anatomical details.

Publication output has been irregular over the last decade, with sporadic active years (e.g., 2020 and 2025) interspersed with years of no recorded output, suggesting a low and uneven publishing pace overall.
