Born in 1925, Professor Adolf Seilacher studied in Tübingen under Otto H. Schindewolf. He has taught in Frankfurt, Baghdad, Göttingen, Baltimore, and Tübingen, and has been Adjunct Professor at Yale University since 1987. In 1992, the Swedish Academy of Science awarded him the Crafoord Prize, established for fields not covered by the Nobel Prize. Professor Seilacher, perhaps the world's most acknowledged expert in the field of trace fossils, is also known for his contributions to morphology and structuralism, biostratinomy, exceptional preservation and Ediacaran biota.
