Roman Kozłowski
Roman Stanisław Jakub Kozłowski (1 February 1889 – 2 May 1977) was a Polish palaeontologist, best known for his work on graptolites.[1]
Kozłowski was born in Włocławek, north-west of Warsaw, on 1 February 1889.[2] He studied at universities in Switzerland and Paris, graduating from the Sorbonne in 1910 with a licentiate in natural sciences.[2] Kozłowski worked at the Museum of Natural History in Paris until 1913, when he moved to Bolivia to become professor and director of the National School of Mines.[2]
Kozłowski was a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences, inaugural director of the Academy's Institute of Paleobiology, and founder of Acta Palaeontologica Polonica.[3] Kozłowski was awarded the Mary Clark Thompson Medal in 1958 from the National Academy of Sciences[4] and the Wollaston Medal in 1961.
The graptolite genus Kozlowskitubus was named after him.[5][6]
