Marsh, and John C. Merriam,[13] and provided specimens to major museums.[6] Condon was appointed the first State Geologist for Oregon in 1872.[7] He resigned that post to become first professor of geology at the University of Oregon. Previously he was a teacher at Pacific University in Forest Grove.[8] In The Two Islands and What Came of Them, a geology book published in 1902, Condon wrote about two widely separated regions of Oregon that contain its oldest rocks, the Klamath Mountains in the southwestern part of the state and the Blue Mountains in the northeast.[9] The book attempted to summarize what was then known about the state's geology and to draw conclusions about its geologic past.[10] Condon was an advocate of theistic evolution. He has been described as a "Christian Darwinist".[11] LegacyCondon Hall at the University of Oregon, which originally housed the geology department, was named for Condon,[12] as were the Thomas Condon Paleontology Center at the Sheep Rock unit of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, near Kimberly, Oregon [13], temporary Lake Condon, formed periodically by the Missoula Floods, and the Condon Fossil Collection of the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History, which was founded by Condon in 1876.[14] He is the namesake of Condon Butte in Lane County.[15] Condon, Oregon, was named for a nephew of Condon.[16]
