Henri Émile Sauvage

Henri Émile Sauvage (22 September 1842 in Boulogne-sur-Mer – 3 January 1917 in Boulogne-sur-Mer) was a French paleontologist, ichthyologist, and herpetologist.[1] He was a leading expert on Mesozoic fish and reptiles.[2]

He worked as a curator at the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle in Boulogne-sur-Mer, and published extensively on Late Jurassic dinosaurs and other vertebrates from the Boulonnais region of northern France.[3] He made important contributions involving vertebrate palaeontology in Portugal, describing in 1897, Suchosaurus girardi from jaw fragments found in that country.[2]

From 1883 to 1896 he served as director of the station aquicole in Boulogne-sur-Mer. He was a member of the Société géologique de France.[4] In 1893 Philippe Thomas published the palaeontological results of the Tunisian Scientific Exploration Mission (1885–1886) in six installments plus an atlas, including the work of Victor-Auguste Gauthier (sea urchins), Arnould Locard (Mollusca), Auguste Péron (Brachiopods, Bryozoa and Pentacrinitess) and Henri Émile Sauvage (fish).[5]

The plesiosaurid species Lusonectes sauvagei commemorates his name,[6] as do the crustacean species Pseudanthessius sauvagei [7] and the gecko species Bavayia sauvagii.[8]

gollark: No, 1st gen is 14nm and 2nd gen is 12nm.
gollark: The chipsets are still not 7nm, right? As well as the 1st/2nd gen ones they still seem to sell (they're available very cheaply, at least) and some mobile CPUs.
gollark: They used (still use, I think?) Global Foundries for 12nm/14nm parts.
gollark: Intel, I mean.
gollark: It's been claimed that they were too aggressive, that they tried to do stuff without waiting for EUV technology to come along, that they just went down the wrong development paths, and probably a lot of otherr things.
