Description: (German Geologist Who Established the 'Neptunist School')
Abraham Gottlob Werner, a German geologist, is remembered for his pioneering theory on the Earth's crust stratification and history, known as Neptunism. Although some aspects of Neptunism were later challenged, Werner's main legacy is his establishment of the chronological succession of rocks. He was known for instilling a deep passion for geology in his students, earning him the moniker "father of German geology." Werner's contributions had a profound impact on the study of geology and have left a lasting mark on the field.
