Horst K. Mahler

Horst Karlheinz Mahler (born April 16, 1958 in Euerdorf ) is a German fossil collector , geologist and paleontologist .

Life

Horst K. Mahler, who was a full-time officer in the German Navy and lives in Eitorf and Euerdorf , belongs with the amateur paleontologists Jürgen Sell , Michael Henz and Bernd Neubig to the SMTE collector's group (Collection Mainfränkische Trias Euerdorf), which focuses on fossils from the Germanic Trias of the Central European Basin . In their home town of Euerdorf, where they have been collecting fossils since their youth, they founded the Terra Triassica Museum, which was funded with EU funds in 2013, as an exhibition space for their over 25,000 finds.

Together with Jürgen Sell, he is the first to name the vulgaris / costata bank, a key horizon in the Upper Buntsandstein in Northern Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg.

The following fossils are named after him:

1993 by Carsten Brauckmann and Thomas Schlüter : The insect genus Heseneuma BRAUCKMANN & SCHLÜTER 1993 (additionally after the first letters of the other members of the SMTE group)
2010 by Heinz Kozur and Lepper: The Conchostrake Euestheria albertii mahlerselli KOZUR & LEPPER 2010 (based on Friedrich von Alberti , Mahler and Sell)
2014 by Ralf Werneburg , Ilja Kogan and Jürgen Sell: The fish Saurichthys minimahleri WERNEBURG, KOGAN & SELL 2014

He published, among others, with the Russian paleoentomologist Alexander Georgijewitsch Ponomarenko on insects of the red sandstone in Lower Franconia and they also work with palaeontologists who specialize in the Triassic such as Léa Grauvogel-Stamm , Jörg W. Schneider , Ralf Werneburg , Gerd Geyer , Klaus-Peter Kelber and next Ponomarenko also collaborated with other Russian scientists from the Paleontological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, such as Dmitri Evgenevich Shcherbakov and Nina Dmitrijewna Sinichenkova .

Horst K. Mahler is a member of the Paleontological Society .
