Description: (Paleontologist)
Albert Oppel, a prominent German paleontologist, made significant contributions to the field through his extensive research on fossil organisms, particularly invertebrates and cephalopods. His work advanced the understanding of Earth's history and evolution, with a lasting impact on paleontological studies. Oppel also played a key role in developing the concept of biostratigraphy, using fossil evidence to correlate and date rock layers, thus enhancing the scientific community's understanding of geological time.
