Jean Baptiste Julien d'Omalius d'Halloy
Edit ProfileEducation
D’Omalius was educated first in Liège and afterward in Paris.
Career
While a youth he became interested in geology, and being of independent means he was able to devote his energies to geological researches. As early as 1808 he communicated to the Journal des mines a paper entitled Essai sur la geologie du Nord de la France.
He became maire of Skeuvre in 1807, governor of the province of Namur in 1815, and from 1848 occupied a place in the Belgian senate.
In Belgium and the Rhine provinces he was one of the geological pioneers in determining the stratigraphy of the Carboniferous and other rocks. He studied also in detail the Tertiary deposits of the Paris Basin, and ascertained the extent of the Cretaceous and some of the older strata, which he for the first time clearly depicted on a map (1817).
He was distinguished as an ethnologist, and when nearly ninety years of age he was chosen president of the Congress of Pre-historic Archaeology (Brussels, 1872).
He died on the 15th of January 1875. His chief works were: Memoires pour servir d la description giologique des Pays-Bas, de la France et de quelques contrees voisines (1828); Elements de giologie (1831, 3rd ed. 1839); Abregg de giologie (1853, 7th ed. 1862); Des races humaines, ou iUments d'ethnographie (5th ed. , 1869).
