| biography:
| Palaeontologist, born in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. Although his formal education ended at age 12, he began his scientific career illustrating state geological surveys, and ended it as professor of historical geology at Yale (1904–23), then nationally pre-eminent in training invertebrate palaeontologists and stratigraphers. A pioneer palaeogeographer, he published the classic Paleogeography of North America (1910) and the long-lived Text-Book of Geology (1915). His last great work was Historical Geology of North America (1935–43). |
