Karl Wilhelm Nose

Karl Wilhelm Nose (also Carl ; born November 18, 1753 in Braunschweig , † June 22, 1835 in Endenich near Bonn ) was a German doctor and mineralogist .

Life

Nose studied medicine and after successfully completing his license to practice medicine he settled as a doctor in Augsburg . He later moved to Elberfeld in the same profession .

As a privateer , Nose first settled in Cologne, then later for some time in Bonn. He spent the last years of his life in Endenich. There he found his final resting place.

In addition to his job, Nose was particularly interested in the natural sciences. He soon came to mineralogy through chemistry and published some important papers in this area for contemporary research. But geography and history also found his interest. In 1808, Nose described a mineral of volcanic origin that he called spinellan because it was similar to spinel . The chemist Martin Heinrich Klaproth later named this mineral Nosean in honor of Karl Wilhelm Nose.

He first described Sanidin in 1789 .
