Nils Peter Angelin
Nils Peter Angelin (born July 23, 1805 in Lund ; † February 13, 1876 ) was a Swedish paleontologist .
Life
Angelin studied natural sciences, especially geology and paleontology, at Lund University . He undertook field studies all over Scandinavia, which also gave him a reputation abroad. He published two major works on Scandinavian paleontology, Palæontologia suecica (1851) and Palæontologia scandinavica (1854). In 1857 he received his doctorate from the University of Breslau. Thus he had the prerequisites for an academic career and in 1860 became a lecturer and adjunct in paleontology at Lund University in the same year. He later became a professor and curator for paleontology at the Natural History Museum in Stockholm, whose collection he expanded.
In 1857 he became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences .
He was unmarried.
An exact geological map of Skåne comes from him . His successor at the Reichsmuseum Gustaf Lindström published some of his works posthumously (Iconographia Crinoideorum in stratis Sueciae Siluricis fossilium, Fragmenta silurica).
