Jürgen Sell
Jürgen Rudolf Sell (born July 25, 1956 in Bad Kissingen ) is a German fossil collector , geologist and paleontologist .
Life
Jürgen Sell, who was a self-employed master craftsman, belongs with the amateur paleontologists Horst K. Mahler , Michael Henz and Bernd Neubig to the SMTE collectors' group (Mainfränkische Trias Euerdorf Collection), which specialize in fossils from the Germanic Triassic of the Central European Basin . Together they founded the Terra Triassica Museum, founded in 2013 in their home town of Euerdorf , where they have been collecting fossils since their youth, as an exhibition space for their more than 25,000 finds.
With Ilja Kogan ( Bergakademie Freiberg ) and Ralf Werneburg he works on finds of the fossil fish Saurichthys in Euerdorf.
He published, among others, with the Russian paleoentomologist Alexander Georgijewitsch Ponomarenko about insects of the red sandstone in Lower Franconia and they also work with palaeontologists who specialize in the Triassic such as Léa Grauvogel-Stamm , Ralf Werneburg , Gerd Geyer , Jörg W. Schneider , Klaus-Peter Kelber and next Ponomarenko also brought together other Russian scientists from the Paleontological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences such as Dmitri Evgenyevich Shcherbakov .
He is a member of the Paleontological Society .
First names
Together with Horst K. Mahler, he is the first to name the vulgaris / costata bank, a key horizon in the Upper Buntsandstein of Northern Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg.
