FOUQUE, FERDINAND ANDRE (1828-19o4)

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 749 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FOUQUE, FERDINAND ANDRE (1828-19o4) , French geologist and petrologist, was born at
Mortain
 , dept. of La Manche, on the 21st of June 1828. At the age of twenty-one he entered the Rcole Normale in Paris, and from 1853 to 1858 he held the appointment of keeper of the scientific collections. In 1877 he became professor of natural history at the College de France, in Paris, and in 1881 he was elected a member of the
Academy
  of Sciences. As a stratigraphical geologist he rendered much assistance on the
Geological
  Survey of France, but in the course of time he gave his
special
  attention to the study of volcanic phenomena and earthquakes, to minerals and rocks; and he was the first to introduce
modern
  petrographical methods into France. His studies of the eruptive rocks of Corsica, Santorin and else-where; his researches on the artificial reproduction of eruptive rocks, and his treatise on the optical characters of felspars deserve
special
  mention; but he was perhaps best known for the
joint
 
work
  which he carried on with his friend Michel Levy. He died on the 7th of
March
  1904. His
chief
  publications were: Santorin et ses eruptions, 1879; (with A. Michel Levy) Mineralogie micrographique, Roches eruptives fran(aises (2 vols., 1879) ; and Synthese des mineraux et des roches (1882).
