Georg August GoldfussGeorg August Goldfuss (April 18, 1782 - October 2, 1848) was a German palaeontologist. Goldfuss was born at Thurnau near Bayreuth, was educated at Erlangen, where he graduated Ph.D. in 1804 and became professor of zoology in 1818. He was subsequently appointed professor of zoology and mineralogy in the university of Bonn. Aided by Count G. Munster he issued the important Petrefacta Germaniae (1826-1844), a work which was intended to illustrate the invertebrate fossils of Germany, but it was left incomplete after the sponges, corals, crinoids, echinids and part of the mollusca had been figured. Goldfuss died at Bonn. Goldfuss, Georg August Goldfuss, Georg August Goldfuss, Georg August
