Lutz Koch (* 1941 ) is a German teacher, fossil collector and paleontologist.

Career

Koch was the principal of a school in Wetter an der Ruhr .

He collected in particular in the slate mountains on the right bank of the Rhine and in Denmark and is particularly known for the discovery of the world's oldest scourge scorpion from the carbon in the porch brickworks , which he published in 1983 with Carsten Brauckmann .

Koch published around 100 scientific and popular scientific papers, including a. also about the Klutert cave . He was involved in the first description of 15 species ; four species were named in his honor: the insect Kochopteron hoffmannorum Brauckmann 1984, the ostracode Conchoprimitiella lukochi Schallreuter 1996 and the gastropods Praeturbonitella kochi Heidelberger 2005 and Mourlonia kochi Heidelberger 2008.

In 2002 he received the Abraham Gottlob Werner Medal of the DGG for paleontological research in the Ordovician of the Rhenish Slate Mountains and in 2015 the Mary Anning Award of the Palaeontological Association London.
