Dockery received his undergraduate degree from Mississippi State in 1972 in petroleum geology. He is currently a paleontologist with the Mississippi Geological Survey in Jackson.
Systematic paleontology concerns the description of the diversity of fossil species and investigation of their interrelationships. Dockery is noted for his investigations of fossil mollusks from the Gulf Coast.
The PRI was founded in 1932 by Cornell professor Gilbert Harris to house his extensive library and fossil collections and to continue to publish two journals. Today, the Ithaca, New York-based institution houses one of the largest collections of invertebrate fossils in North America.
