HEBERT, EDMOND (s812-189o)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 167 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HAN-HEG
HEBERT, EDMOND (s812-189o) ,
French
  geologist, was born at Villefargau,
Yonne
 , on the 12th of June 1812. He was educated at the College de Meaux, Auxerre, and at the Ecole Normale in Paris. In 1836 he became professor at Meaux, in x838 demonstrator in
chemistry
  and physics at the Ecole Normale, and in 1841 sub-director of studies at that school and lecturer on
geology
 . In x857 the degree of D. es Sc. was conferred upon him, and he was appointed professor of
geology
  at the Sorbonne. There he was eminently successful as a teacher, and worked with
great
  zeal in the field, adding much to the knowledge of the Jurassic and older strata. He devoted, how-ever,
special
  attention to the subdivisions of the Cretaceous and Tertiary formations in France, and to their correlation with the strata in England and in southern Europe. To him we owe the first definite arrangement of the
Chalk
  into palaeontological zones (see Table in Geol. Hag., 1869, p. 200). During his later years he was regarded as the leading geologist in France. He was elected a member of the Institute in 1877,
Commander
  of the Legion of Honour in 1885, and he was three times president of the
Geological
  Society of France. He died in Paris on the 4th of
April
  1890.
