Léa Grauvogel tribe
Léa Grauvogel-Stamm (nee Grauvogel, * 1940 ) is a French palaeontologist (especially paleobotany ). She is known for the investigation of the exceptionally well-preserved fossils of the famous fossil deposits of the Voltziensandsteins of the Vosges from the red sandstone , partly in collaboration with Jean-Claude Gall .
Léa Grauvogel-Stamm studied natural sciences at the University of Strasbourg , where she received her doctorate in 1978 on the flora of the upper red sandstone of the Northern Vosges. At that time she was the CNRS Charge des Recherche . She is now retired from the University of Strasbourg.
She came into contact with the fossils in Alsace and the Vosges at an early age, as her father Louis Grauvogel († 1987), an industrialist from Zabern , had assembled an extensive collection on a farm in Ringendorf (built from around 1935), which was also the basis of their work. Part of the collection is on display at Lichtenberg Castle .
She also worked on the flora of the middle red sandstone in Germany and the lower Keuper (Lettenkohle) in eastern France and is particularly concerned with the evolution of conifers and lycophytes .
In 2002, together with Jean-Claude Gall, she received the Friedrich von Alberti Prize ( for her services to research into the rich Triassic flora in Grès à Voltzia and the reconstruction of the ecosystem in the upper red sandstone of the Vosges, microflora and flora of the European Triassic and the preservation and scientific evaluation of the collection of her father Louis Grauvogel ) and the Prix Paul Bertrand of the Académie des sciences . She has also received prizes from the Emberger Foundation and the Sociéte des Sciences, de l'Agriculture et des Arts de Lille . In 1991 she became treasurer of the European Paleontological Association.
