FAVRE, JEAN ALPHONSE (1815-1890)

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 215 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FAT-FLA
FAVRE, JEAN ALPHONSE (1815-1890) , Swiss geologist, was born at Geneva on the 31st of
March
  1815. He was for many years professor of
geology
  in the
academy
  at Geneva, and afterwards president of the Federal Commission with charge of the
geological
  map of Switzerland. One of his earliest papers was On the Anthracites of the Alps {1841), and later he gave
special
  attention to the
geology
  of Savoy and of Mont
Blanc
 , and to the ancient glacial phenomena of those Alpine regions. His elucidation of the
geological
  structure demonstrated that.
certain anomalous occurrences of fossils were due to repeated interfoldings of the strata and to complicated overthrust faults. In 1867 he published Recherches geologiques dans les parties de la
Savoie
 , du Piemont et de la Suisse voisines du Mont
Blanc
 . He died at Geneva in June 18go.
His son ERNEST FAVRE (b. 1845) has written on the palaeontology and geology of
Galicia
 , Savoy and the
Fribourg
  Alps, and of the Caucasus and Crimea.
