Louis Beushausen
Hermann Ernst Louis Beushausen (born July 18, 1863 in Elbingerode , † February 21, 1904 in Berlin ) was a German geologist and paleontologist .
Beushagen was the son of a forest ranger in Elbingerode in the Harz Mountains. He studied natural sciences and especially geology at the University of Göttingen from 1880 under Adolf von Koenen with his doctorate in 1884. From 1887 he was at the Prussian Geological State Institute (PGLA). He mapped the north German lowlands and was active in the collection for the Paleozoic , where he was particularly concerned with paleontology and stratigraphy of the Paleozoic in the Harz. His specialty was the Devonian Lamellibranchies and their use in stratigraphy, in which he was a pioneer. This also served him for fundamental work on Harz geology. In 1901 he became a full professor of geology and paleontology at the Bergakademie Berlin.
