Karl Madler
Karl A. Mädler (born December 9, 1902 , † October 22, 2003 ) was a German paleobotanist and paleynologist . Its official botanical author's abbreviation is " Mädler ".
Mädler was initially a pharmacist in Seifhennersdorf for a few years , where he dealt with the fossil flora of the area from the Oligocene and from 1931 studied paleobotany with Richard Kräusel and was a research assistant at the Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt. Due to unfortunate circumstances, the planned doctoral thesis initially failed to materialize, but in 1939 it led to a publication on flora of the Pliocene , which was found during the construction of the sewage treatment plant in Frankfurt. After the Second World War he was initially an assistant supervisor in the Lower Saxony State Museum and from 1955 at the Lower Saxony State Office for Soil Research in Hanover. In addition, he continued his studies in Hanover, where he received his doctorate in paleobotany in 1963. The dissertation on spores and pollen of the Germanic Triassic was received as an important contribution to paleobotany. In 1967 he retired, but remained scientifically active and published at the age of ninety.
In addition to spores and pollen from the Mesozoic and, for example, phytoplankton from the Posidonia schist of the Lower Jurassic, he also processed pollen and spore material for archaeological excavations and dealt with the leaf systematics of angiosperms from chalk and tertiary.
