Adolf Riedel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adolf Riedel (born May 12, 1890 in Braunschweig ; † November 21, 1914 at Hendecourt ) was a German paleontologist.

Life

Riedel studied geology and paleontology in Braunschweig and Munich and is best known for his dissertation on the ceratites of the upper shell limestone , which his teacher Ernst Stolley published posthumously in 1916. It was based on collections by Stolley and Riedel themselves, especially in the Braunschweig, Hildesheim and Weser region.

He fell in 1914 as a war volunteer in the 1st Bavarian Leibregiment , before he could finish his dissertation in Munich. Stolley supplemented, among other things, by processing finds in southern and central Germany, what Riedel had intended (he had started collecting), but was not able to complete. In 1913, Riedel still took part in the International Geological Congress in Canada.

His work is considered to be one of the fundamental works on shell limestone ceratites (other authors are Wilhem de Haan , Friedrich August Quenstedt , Stolley, Emil Philippi , Rolf Wenger, Anton Schrammen , Leonard Spath , Max Urlichs , Siegfried Rein , Rudolf Mundlos ).
