Bedrich Boucek (1904-19??) |
"Professor RNDr. Bedrich Boucek, Dr.Sc., was born on August 30th 1904 in Prague. He studied at the Faculty of Science of the Charles University, Prague, where in 1928 he terminated his studies receiving a doctors' degree and in 1934 attained the qualification as an Associate Professor of Palaeontology. Later he taught as Professor at the Pedagogical University in Prague. From 1961 he has been active as a leading scientific worker at the Geological Institute of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences. From the beginning of his career his main interest was directed to graptolites, at first to the Ordovician, later the Silurian and then to Devonian. His find of the so far known youngest graptolites in the upper part of the Lower Devonian arouse great attention. In the Silurian of Bohemia, Prof. Boucek has differentiated, according to graptolites, probable the most complete sequence of zones, many of which were taken over into the international general stratigraphic table of the Silurian." |
